Born on November 3, 1986 in Mililani, Hawaii, Jasmine Soriano Trias is a sweet, talented, intelligent, passionate, caring, and strikingly beautiful singer and performer. At age 16, she auditioned for the popular reality T.V. show "American Idol” and became the first ever Filipino-American and Hawaii born to reach third place in the competition.

She released her self titled debut album in stores on July 12, 2005. Her new CD introduces an edgier, rhythm and blues-based sound. Jasmine's debut album is being distributed throughout the United States, the Philippines, and Japan by Universal Music and Aloha Music. It contains 14 songs produced and written by multi-platinum industry leaders, like Diane Warren and Vincent Herbert, and a remake by Sean "P. Diddy" Combs.

Be sure to check out the interview on Sunday, April 9, 9pm EST on 96.1 FM KSQQ and online on www.imaginasianradio.com

IF IT'S FREE, IT'S FOR ME: Actually, its for all the Wayne Hsu fans out there. He has decided that he wants to make a new demo that is downloadable for free for all his fans because he wants you to be rocking out to every word that isn’t on his “A Boy Named Hsu EP”. So tune in once his website is done or hit him up on AIM (screen name: waynehsumusic) and request those songs.

PUTNAM HALL ON DEMAND: Forget the colleges, South Cali High schools is where it is at. Paying homage to where they grew up, they want to make appearances and play at YOUR SCHOOL! With the school year wrapping, they know how it is as the weather gets warmer and you’re counting down until you can break free!! What better way to end the day with Putnam Hall rocking your school.

KEN OAK FALL 2006 TOUR: Without the fans, there can be no band. Ken Oak knows this and wants to know where all his fans are so he can give you all of him, along with his band and cello in tow.

Justin Young: I can already envision the islands of Hawaii, while smelling the sea infused air. Think of bikinis, surfer boys and frozen cocktails while you’re being soothed by Young’s soft guitar.

Lijie Yang: Like a porcelain Hummer H2 her lyrics are fragile yet forceful, echoing a heartache familiar… - www.theowlmag.com
