Center Stage

Kevin So

Originally from Boston, Kevin has been performing non-stop across the US since 1996. He's doing for young Americans now what Bob Dylan did for the 60’s generation. Carving his songs from R&B, rock, hip hop and folk pop, he presents his life and times in brash strokes of insight, wit, and sympathy. That’s what the Boston Globe has to say about Kevin.

Check out his most recent heart-to-heart interview with Imaginasian Radio right here! www.youtube.com/iaradio


Gossip, News & Randoms:
What's going on with Asian and Asian American Artists


Mike Park
Catch the "Supposed to Be There too" video on his MySpace.

Emm Gryner: "I was very lucky this month to get a mention in Q Magazine when Bono was asked what songs of the past 20 years he wishes he wrote. He said 'Almighty Love'. I heart Bono."

RockTease EP & Video News
Dropping in November!
"This record is finally done with 4 new tracks, produced by me and the amazing Lionel Cohen. There are also two surprises for you: A Korean version of the first single, 'Obvious/Want You', which I know you guys all voted for on MTV K. It's the first time I've ever sung in Korean--that was tough! And a very cool remix of 'Gimme One' by Chris Fudurich, who's worked with everyone from Britney Spears to Nada Surf (and now, me!) I hope you guys like it, it's harder than anything you've ever heard from me before. I'll be releasing some tracks online soon. I'll also be giving everyone an opportunity to buy special, autographed advance copies, some of which will have a 'Golden Ticket' that will get you into the record release/video party."

DJ Rekha
