I walked the red carpet with my date, Only Won, at CAPE’s (Coalition of Asian Pacific Entertainers) 20th Anniversary Gala. Celebrities such as Maggie Q, and Daniel Dae Kim were honored for their contributions to raising the profile and positive portrayals of Asian Americans. 
Here I am with my band and Only Won performing at the annual Light at the Lighthouse music festival in San Pedro. We had a lot of fun rockin’ the stage.
I hope you’re having a great summer! I love having fruit during the summer and recently I got addicted to Fruit Ninja on my iPhone. I’ve also been listening to Adele’s album. All this would explain the inspiration for this music video. I decided to cover the song but put a twist on it. Also check out Adele’s original video to see how we Asian-ized it. Thanks to Only Won for lending a hand…er, sword…to the video. I should also thank my mom for letting me throw chopsticks at her dishes. Hope you enjoy it and please share with your friends.
If you missed the Haiti benefit show I did in March in Pasadena, CA, you can get a taste of what you missed that night. Here’s video of me performing “Turn This World Around” with Only Won and our awesome band. It was a lot of fun. Don’t be afraid to dance and wave your hands from side to side while watching. =)
Here’s a preview of a new song I’m working on for my new album, Love and Discovery. There’s been some debate on whether I should call this “If I WAS Your Wonder Woman” or “If I WERE Your Wonder Woman.” Feel free to chime in on the poll below as to which you think sounds better. One is grammatically more correct than the other. You can sample the songs below. These are rough versions of the song. Feel free to comment on the song as well.
Here’s “If I WERE Your Wonder Woman”:
I’m releasing this “Acoustically Yours (Live from L.A.)” EP of 6 live versions of my songs. This includes 3 new songs (a couple which might end up on the new album). This is a digital download only and available exclusively on my website and facebook. All proceeds will be donated to The Salvation Army Japan to further relief efforts in earthquake and tsunami recovery. Thanks for supporting this project!
I’ll be performing a set with my band for a special night of comedy and music on Sat. March 19th to benefit a great organization that is continuing to do needed work to rebuild communities in Haiti. I’ll be doing a
few songs with my favorite Lyrical Engineer, Only Won. Some great comedians will be there as well as the band, Press Play. Hope you can come out and support this event.

I’ll be singing the Star Spangled Banner early in the morning at 8am to kickoff the annual Chinatown Firecracker 5k/10k Run in Los Angeles. It’s a great event benefiting the community and part of the non-stop Chinese New Year festivities around town. (I hope I don’t bungle the lyrics like Christina Aguilera did at the SuperBowl)
I grabbed my camcorder and had a little fun in a parking garage making a video for this song. I sing a version of this hit song originally done by Bruno Mars. Hope you enjoy it and share it with your friends!
Happy New Year! I’m excited to be writing and recording brand new songs that I’ll be releasing this year. It’s been a few years since I worked on a full-length solo project. It’s nice to be back in “artist” mode. I hope it will be bigger and better than anything else I’ve done.
