Good friend and fellow APA blogger, GT of a-tunes.net sat down with the very talented Esna Yoon to talk music, past Youtube collaborations, the competitive music scene in LA and more. Yoon also gives a beautiful performance of an original song called “You Fool” at the end and it’ll leave you believing this girl was born with some serious soul.

Indian-American actor Dileep Rao received the phone call of his life when he landed the role of “Dr. Max Patel” in the Hollywood box-office hit, Avatar, directed by James Cameron. Soon after, director Christopher Nolan gave him the chance to play “Yusuf” in one of the most buzzed about films of 2010, Inception. Inception, starring Leonardo Dicaprio, Ellen Page, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Tom Hardy, Ken Watanabe, Marion Cotillard, and Dileep Rao is currently the #1 movie in America.
AAtheory got a chance to chat with the actor about the film, what his Asian parents thought about his passion for acting, and what it was like winning Jeopardy back in 2002.

He’s the host of the successful radio program, “Beats From The East” in Canada, where he plays music from all different AA artists and interviews some of the best up and coming entertainers. DJ Mister Vee asked Yours Truly for a phone interview to talk KPOP, AAtheory, and my thoughts on the future of Asian American entertainment.

So here’s your shameless plug for the day!
My dream in this little old life is to have my own talk show. The possibility of that ever coming true seemed way too far-fetched even for my imagination. Then this woman, I’m not to sure if you’ve ever heard of her, but she goes by the name of Oprah, decided to give someone the chance to have their own talk show. So here I am auditioning and asking for you all to vote for me. If you believe in my concept and in me, please vote and give me the chance to represent minorities and to make a difference.

The very talented Steve Nguyen and I sat down for an interview with the equally magnificent AA entertainment site, Channelapa.com to talk Asian Americans, AAtheory, Seoulbeats, and more.

I know many of you were losing sleep, just waiting for part II to come out so I’m happy to present the second part of AAtheory’s question collaboration with Seriously The Band.
Enjoy:
I’m just a fan of their music, their on-stage persona, and the people they are when the cameras aren’t flashing and the lights aren’t shining. Four of the most down-to-earth guys I know, Seriously, is one of the fastest rising AA bands in America. They have an incredible passion for the craft and know how to rock a crowd.
I got the chance to sit down with the talented four-some to get to know the guys behind the music. Enjoy the first installment of AAtheory Wheel of Fortune.
As a female, I’m always semi-nervous to meet a female entertainer to interview because you never know what kind of “woman” the other party will be like. To my relief, Clara Chung was literally everything you admire in a person and in a musician. She’s Youtube’s new buzz and a rising star in the AA entertainment community. I had the privilege to sit down with the Kollaboration LA 10 winner to talk music, fans, and future plans.
Sit back, relax, and enjoy another installment of EMT:
I never say this about anybody but Clara’s got that “IT” factor and she’s so incredibly marketable, not only because she’s a gifted musician/singer/songwriter, but because her personality shines through her words, music, and smile. To learn more about Clara Chung, visit her Youtube page here.
