Meyou is the first all rapping, singing and dancing sensation to ever top the Japanese charts, while becoming the prototype for the 21st century superstar!
Imagine the raw sexuality of Lil' Kim, the lyrical skills of Gangstarr, the wicked humor of Eminem, the vocal purity of Christina Aguilara, the dancing of Janet Jackson, the fashion sense of Destiny's Child, and the sheer groundbreaking originality of Bob Marley - all in one hyped-to-the-max Asiatic performing phenom.
Nobody has so successfully synergized the wildly eclectic musical and fashion styles of contemporary global culture. Trend setting is the name of this game. Following the leader is not. . . .
This 6-piece soul/funk "kollective" has done exactly that! They have brought their swinging, swaggering and funking to packed hip-hop crowds at events such as "Fresh Tracks" (Asian American Performance Arts event), numerous UCLA events and at Martini Lounge.
This "Emo" Power Pop band, from Tampa Florida, has performed at 2001 Asian Kaleidoscope Talent Showcase (Gainesville, FL), Expressions 2002 Benefit Concert (Fairfax, VA), 2nd Annual Barrio Fiesta (Florida State University), WelcomeFest (Atlanta, GA), Hallow's Eve Bash (Decatur, GA), UF's Def Talent Jam (Gainesville, FL), Emory Music Regatta (Atlanta, GA), He Said, She Said (Jacksonville, FL) and numerous other places.
They are an unique combination of rock, funk, jazz, rap, spoken poetry and techno that maintains the live music intensity of a guitar driven rock and roll with extra trimmings that knows no musical limitations.
Their band has an upcoming PlayStation game and incorporates visual imagery within their unusual performances.
Their name means "created by Asians." They are a hard hitting metal band consisting of sweet, sharp guitar solos to the pounding solid bass to music that is crisp sharp and jagged.
They are four pieces, one rhythm, one creation.
This Las Vegas native brings her sultry urban r&b/dance music to her many fans throughout the U.S.
Witness his thumping beats along with his songs of the passion that he follows.

PRODUCERS' WORDS
IN SUPPORT OF OUR YOUTHS,
the event will be providing special passes to various non-profit organizations to allow them the opportunityi to witness prominent upcoming artists.
IN RECOGNITION OF 9/11,
the event will provide a portion of the net proceeds to the Chinese American Planning Council (CPC)'s 9/11 Relief Service Center that serves NYC Chinatown's immediate and projected long lasting needs to the many victims. They are one of the largest providers of social services for Asian Americans in the United States.
The mission of this relief center is to assist Chinatown small businesses and residents to navigate access to Federal and private relief services. The lack of language skills, immigration status and complex family living and working arrangements discouraged many Chinatown residents from applying for aid and resulted in very high rejection rate of over 50% when application was made after 9/11.
PERSONAL INVITATION is extended to support the participating artists who have traveled from throughout the United States (Tampa, Houston, San Francisco, Las Vegas) and Asia (Japan and Hong Kong) to gather together on this one night.
Experience the rap, alternative, rap, rock, hip-hop, ethnic fusion and dance influences within their respective music. In addition, one will be able to witness trailers from various APA films and animation shorts.
Could this be the night where the collective musical voices from the APA communities get the attention of the music industry?
Could this be the night where the collective musical voices from the APA communities will unite together as one.
A personal invitation is extended to be part of this exciting night!
WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU!
