Description
If you think of Asian American music stars who comes to mind? It’s no coincidence that the biggest Asian American stars – Bruno Mars, Olivia Rodrigo, Anderson Paak, Saweetie, H.E.R. – are all mixed-race individuals who don’t typically read as Asian. So why is that?
This week we’re joined by music journalist Emily Tan to discuss how the music industry has seemingly left an entire race out of the conversation. From being told they’ll never make it as a star to not being Asian enough, there’s a never-ending list of why Asian American musicians are underrepresented in the music industry.
