Kollaboration Acoustic 4 Recapped by HA

The good people at HypnoticAsia were in attendance of last week’s Kollaboration Acoustic 4 event, where we reported Dawen took top honors. Unfortunately we were able to provide few other details but HA has got you covered. Be sure to head on over there for their in depth recap complete with photos and videos. Gotta love the convenience of sharing on the internet when you can’t be there yourself!
