About Me

What is Asian Elevation?

From the producers of the extremely successful Kollaboration ( www.kollaboration.org ), Asian Elevation is an innovative talent showcase that strives to bring together the diverse communities that compose the Asian American demographic. While promoting diversity and talent, Asian Elevation also works with community organizations in raising awareness on issues that many Asian Americans may not be educated on. This year, we are partnered with A3M: Asians for Miracle Marrow Matches due to the lack of Asian marrow donors in the National Registry. Subsequently, the theme this year is: "Hey, baby! Are you my type?"

Our mission statement is empowerment through entertainment. While Asian Americans continue to be marginalized outside of mainstream media, Asian Elevation provides a platform for young Asian Americans to share their talents. In embracing the next generation of Asian Americans with dreams of pursuing the arts, Asian Elevation also seeks to bridge together the gaps in generations and in the various ethnic groups under the Asian American umbrella. Both a platform for talent and a gathering of diverse peoples, Asian Elevation's ultimate goal is to be a resource for educating and empowering the local, national, and international Asian American community.

This year, while we raise awareness of the status of Asian bone marrow donors through our event, we also have an impressive variety of acts lined up. We have selected some exceptionally talented individuals from over 100 auditions. From dancers to musicians to artists of all typesthis premier Asian Elevation will showcase a promising group of young Asian American talent. Special guest performances will also be a part of the program, so you can expect a jam-packed night of entertainment!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:


We knew this would happen but Jo Koy has blown up so big that he has been offered a gig that he could not refuse, sorry to say he will not be able to perform at Asian Elevation tomorrow.

However, JUST CONFIRMED...

E40 will be performing live on stage at Asian Elevation this Saturday!

To make it up to you, we have booked E40 to perform live on stage along with Roscoe Umali. E40 will also perform some of his current hit songs... undoubtedly the ONLY thing worth going to this Saturday!

Roscoe Umali is teaming up with platinum artist E-40 for Roscoe's major upcoming album release, "Homegrown MC". Roscoe's much anticipated record has been in the works for over a year with other cameos from the YoungBloodZ and J Black (from Snoop Dogg's multi-platinum albums "R&G" and "Welcome to the Chuuch". With E-40 lending his golden touch, Roscoe's gaining recognition throughout the hip-hop realm and the Asian American community.

In "Homegrown MC", Roscoe delivers much needed food for thought for the starved fans of true hip-hop. Throughout his journey, Roscoe supports his family and graduates at the top of his class from UCLA, arming his rhymes with knowledge from the streets and much more.

Roscoe is currently in the works for his own Luxury Kicks from Vlado Footwear. See the Luxury kicks at www.vladofootwear.com . Grab Roscoe's mixtape out now presented by DJ Warrior, DJ James Jhig and hosted by LOWD-hitting www.aowrecords.com , underground arenas and other online outlets.

The term “legend” is not loosely thrown around in hip-hip and for good reason. There are not many rappers that fit the bill. But E-40, “The Ambassador of the Bay,” is one that definitely does. After 12 albums and 15 years, three gold and one platinum album (one with his group The Click) 40 Water is ready to unleash his patented slang and unforgettable flow to a new generation of fans with his debut album for BME Recordings/Sik Wid It/Reprise, My Ghetto Report Card.

It’s no secret why 40 has remained current, he stays on top of the streets, “I stays woke. I like to put a new twist to what I do,” says 40. “Every now and then you got to reinvent yourself by getting with these young cats, that way I stay fresh in the game. That’s the secret to my longevity.”

With his latest album My Ghetto Report Card, E-40 once again re-invents himself by introducing the nation to a movement that has been bubbling in his native Bay Area for the past few years - Hyphy. Like Crunk in Atlanta or Screw Music in Houston, Hyphy music is the sonic component of the new Bay Area youth culture.

The energy of the youth created a power so strong that the music coming out of the bay was forced to follow suit, giving the streets a soundtrack to the movement. Hyphy has a dance component, where dancers compete with each other for dominance of the crowd – as displayed by the award-winning Bay Area dance group, The Animaniaks, in E-40’s hit video “Tell Me When To Go.” This ultra-intense form of freestyle dancing is called going dumb. The customary fashion for Hyphy is jeans, white tees, dreads and big sunglasses called “stunna shades.”
