Don’t forget to add Big Phony to this list!
Big Phony – http://bigphonymusic.com
Amazing singer songwriter.
Ah yes, I completely forgot about him. I heard Big Phony is hilarious on stage too.
He is amazing on stage.
Good list. Do you ever listen to Beats from the East? It’s a music show featuring asian american/canadian and asian music (mainly hip hop and some r&b) broadcast on a university radio station in Montreal (http://www.cjlo.com). Archived podcasts can also be downloaded from http://bfte.podomatic.com
Ah yes, I completely forgot about him. I heard Big Phony is hilarious on stage too.
+1
I was looking over the list and it seems that you guys forgot one of my favorite Asian artist, AM KIDD.
Check out my youtube channel http://youtube.com/br0ke
can you add peoples bandcamp’s to the list ? or just make a massive bandcamp list xD
that’s a great suggestion! we need to update/reorganize this list anyway so we’ll be sure to do so =)
should add Wolftron
his name is Kenny Choi
lead singer for Daphne Loves Derby
you guys are missing my favorite musician d-pryde
how come IAMMEDIC is not on this list?
Hey, I just dropped by this site to check out an article you guys posted a while back. But I think what you’re doing here is really awesome. It’s so important to give a voice and a face to people that usually get overlooked. Super glad you have Jay Legaspi on here!! He’s a friend of mine and I think he’s amazing. Though I do suggest you check out Triangle Offense. They are a hip-hop group out of NJ. I’ve been following them for a while, and if you haven’t heard them you’re missing out. LoL, I don’t want to be “that person”, but I really love their music, and I make sure to tell people about them whenever I can. You can check out their stuff @ triangle-offense.com
