Heard It. Said It.

Join me in my season two premiere with special guest, singer, songwriter, producer, Yianna! I visited Yianna in the studio in Los Angeles, where she works on her personal music projects as well as contributing to your favorite shows, movies, podcasts, and even your fitness class soundtracks. Yianna and I catch up on our childhood memories, dating failures (and potential successes) and what her current and more confident chapter in her music career looks like. Tune into this episode in which Yianna reveals what goes on behind the glitz and glamour of the music industry, especially for young women trying to pursue their dreams at the same time as figuring out their identities. Big shout out to listeners and supporters of season 1. This has been so fulfilling, and I hope you’re excited to see what’s in store for the future!

In this week's episode, I speak with Rithika @rithikasilvers to discuss how we discovered music as first-generation kids, balancing the music we heard at home and from our immigrant parents versus the music we heard from our peers. LimeWire, MySpace, TRL, and Glee were some of the key ways we discovered music. We discuss how as we have witnessed more Asian representation in film and television, we've also noticed the growing influence of Bollywood and K-Pop in American pop music. Plus, Rithika is an old Drake STAN. Tune in to listen to some hilarious anecdotes about her deep passion for old Drake and how new artists like FKA Twigs are giving Beyonce a run for her money. Also, whatever happened to Jay Sean?
