About Me
Thank you for stopping by the official myspace page of "The Kong & Shu Project"...you are more than welcome to leave your comments/listen to the music/message us/add us as a friend.
The Kong & Shu Project is a project developed by Kong and Shu Lor. We developed this project during the summer of 2007 as a side project. We decided to challenge ourselves by writing music in our language. The project included writing and composing Hmong music. Writing music is a big challenge. By writing music in Hmong, it’s a great way to preserve your language and improve verbally. We hope the music we write will inspire or make your day better in some way. At the end of the summer, with the songs we have completed, we thought we would make an album and share it with the world. We released our debut album “Pib Qhov Twg†in December of 2007 at the Metrodome Hmong New Year in Minneapolis, Minnesota. We hope to continue writing music and sharing with you all. If you would like to support us by purchasing a copy of the CD, please scroll down. If you have any questions, you are more than welcome to ask us. There’s nothing like the real CD!
The both of us have learned many things through the process of completing this CD. We learned that Music is something that should be appreciated and respected by all. It takes a lot of time and dedication. It’s amazing how a simple song can make you feel better. That’s how powerful music is. Next time you are walking to the store, to the flea market, to school, to a restaurant, running on the track, playing a sport, going to a concert, hanging out with friends...and come across a musician that you know. Say "Thank You"...this is a great way to improve the Hmong Music Industry and keep the musician motivated. If you ever have a chance to attend a concert or event with live music, we urge you to take the opportunity! We would like to say “Thank You/Ua Tsaug†to all of the people out there who supports the arts/music along with making music! You all are inspirations!
Thank you,

My name is Kong Lor. I’m 20 years old. I graduated in 2006 from East Burke High School, and currently a Junior at the University of North Carolina Greensboro. At this point, I am on the verge of declaring a major. I enjoy traveling and meeting new people. As of right now, I serve as the Youth Coordinator for the Hmong New Year Organization in North Carolina, Hmong Southeast Puavpheej Inc. At the moment, I am an out of state contributor for the Hmoobteen magazine which is based in St.Paul, Minnesota. This will be my last year with the magazine. One of my biggest goals is bringing the Hmong community together through the beauty of art and music. I work with the Hmong Artist Network (www.hmongartists.net). In the Hmong community, there are the ones that appreciates Hmong music, and the one who always complains about the Hmong Music Industry. Mahatma Gandi says: "You must be the change you wish to see in the world". From that, I say: “You must be the change you wish to see in the Hmong Music Industryâ€. Don’t sit back and complain as a Hmong musian gives it their best. I would like to thank all Hmong Musicians for having the passion and courage to keep striving for their goals.
Ua Tsaug,
Kong Lor
Hey, my name Shu Lor and this is my personal slash music page. I'm currently 18 and attending the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Music has always been a big part of my life and I have a fine feeling it is always going to be. It's a great way to keep yourself busy and also a great way to express feelings, emotions, and experiences. If I could marry music I would probably do it. But then I would probably be the 9 trillionth person waiting for Ms. Music to be single :P But yea, all the music here is produced (played, composed, recorded, etc.) by me in my second bedroom I like to call REDroom Studio. Feel free to take a listen and download any material that is up for grabs. Thanks alot for stopping by and say hello, comment me, message me, shoot me an email, or even call me if you have my number :/ Until then, have a wonderful day!!.
Thank You,
Shu Lor
***ALL SONGS ARE COMPOSED BY SHU LOR
IB TXOJ KEV: The inspiration to the writing process of this song came from random thoughts and experiences with finding that special someone. We believe there is someone out there for everyone; you will eventually cross the same path with that someone. If it's not now, it will be later on in life. Don't lose hope...things happens for a reason. (Written by: Kong Lor, Shu Lor)
TU SIAB: A song covering the feelings of heart break. Someone leaving you without letting you know? Or you will never have the chance to tell someone that you have been heart broken? (Written by: Kong Lor, Shu Lor)
MOB LUB SIAB: This is a cover song/tribute we did, by a talented female vocalist name "Maly Vu" from the late 80's. She is by far one of the most known female vocalist in the Hmong Music Industry today. This is a beautiful song about separation. It's not much, but we decided to do a cover of it. Much respect to "Maly Vue"(Written by: Maly Vu)
KUV LEEJ MUAM: This song is a cover/tribute song we did, from the classic singer all of you know as "Tou Ly Vangkhue"...he is a inspiration to most of us and will always will be. You can find his music at the local Hmong stores or floating on the internet. That's how great this guy is. This is a beautiful song. This is may be categorized as "old school", but i hope you all will enjoy it! This song is great because of it's deep lyrics. Much respect to "Tou Ly Vangkhue". (Written by: Tou Ly Vangkhue)
NYOB IB SAB: This song is a cover/tribute song of the first Hmong Idol Pagnia Xiong. We thought this was a wonderful song. It's filled with strong lyrics and melodies. It is also one of our favorite songs within the past few years. Be sure to get a copy of her album!. (Written by: Pagnia Xiong)
***COVER SONG: In popular music, a cover version, or simply cover, is a new rendition (performance or recording) of a previously recorded song. Musicians now play what they call "cover versions" (e.g. the reworking, updating or interpretation) of songs as a tribute to the original performer or group.
***ALBUM: The cover songs we did are not included in the album due to copyright laws and regulations. They are only to be performed at shows and not to be sold. The CD consist of 8 original tracks written and compose by us.
