Featured Artists:SERIOUSLY
This new up and coming Asian American
band, Seriously is made up of four young men from Diamond Bar,
California (Philip Park, 19; Chris Pham,19; Josh Baek, 22 and Nathan
Park, 19). The four guys began playing together in a local church and
came together to compete in LA’s premier Asian American talent show,
Kollaboration in 2006 where they won the Grand Prize with their song,
“Irony”. Since their winning performance at Kollaboration, they were
signed by Woody Pak, CEO/ producer of Chaos Theory Music and artist
manager, Gloria Lee, to record an EP showing off their talent for
melanchology yet fresh songwriting. Seriously’s music blends hints of
K-pop (aka Korean pop music), Brit-pop and American rock & roll,
and their songs display a signature melancholy-hued optimism with raw
honesty.

Mai Lee
Mai Lee is St. Louis’ newest pop
sensation to hit the airwaves. Born to a hardworking musical family,
Mai Lee has been perfecting her craft of singing and songwriting since
the age of 13. Her appreciation for music was instilled at a very
young age as she observed her mother and father singing old war songs
and traditional Vietnamese love songs during family gatherings. She
enjoyed it so much, her parents enrolled her in a school for visual and
performing arts to continue to cultivate her interest and natural
talent.
Growing up and listening to the music of such legends at Mariah
Carey and Mary J. Blige in the early 90’s, Mai Lee decided to pursue
music professionally and bring her own style to America’s popular
culture musical landscape.
Her unique voice is showcased on her newest single “When Love Was”
and will be featured on her eagerly awaited debut album. The album
will include a sultry mix of pop, dance, and R&B tracks
incorporating her own, work as well as collaborations with the music
industries’ powerhouse producers and music makers.

Davis Truong
Davis
Truong started playing the guitar during his junior year of high
school. Before his high school years, Davis was not much of a music
person. Mainly, he would just listen to artists that he admired and
were inspired by. Until he finally got musical inspiration when he saw
one of his best friends play the guitar. This was the first time Davis
had heard someone play a guitar live and he thought to himself, “Wow,
that’s freaking the bomb!” His friend was playing a song that Davis had
heard on the radio called “Behind Blue Eyes” by Limp Bizkit. Since that
day, Davis was so motivated to play and even convinced his parents to
buy him a guitar. Davis has not been able to stop playing since. He
fell in love with how cool it was to be able to play a song that he had
never heard before.
As he improved on his guitar-playing skills, he then decided to
make up his own rhythms and started writing his own songs. He just
liked the idea of being able to create a song all on your own. He would
listen to a bunch of different songs and thought about what he liked
about it and what he felt the song was missing. Davis wanted his songs
to be meaningful, catchy, different and honest. There is no musical
influence that inspires his music and till this day, he still does not
listen to much music. He just loves making music. He also thinks that
it is a good thing since he does not like to mimic or copy any other
artists' styles or creations.
His songs are based mainly on what he is feeling at the time and he
will write songs at random times. To Davis, nothing feels better than a
finished song and the joy that people will have when they hear it. Even
though music is not Davis' main career, he will still always continue
making it. As of now, Davis Truong is really happy with his life and
appreciates everything about it.
