Congratulations to Kina Grannis on being the grand prize winner of the Doritos “Crash the Super Bowl” contest! Her music video was aired during the Super Bowl and she goes on to bright things with Interscope Records and beyond!

We were lucky enough to be able to interview her for an A-Profiler during the contest and she was so gracious. We’ll be sure to keep updated on this fast rising star!

Crash the Super Bowl Contest Over

Now we wait for one of the three finalists in the Dorito’s Crash the Super Bowl contest to be announced (I think they’ll announce it during the Super Bowl on Sunday). With two of the three finalists having APA representation, there is a pretty good chance that we could see some Asian American as the winner and having their music video showned to 90+ million people worldwide and also landing an Interscope Records deal. Will it be Kina Grannis or Nivla? Or could Landon Austin pull it out?

If I hear the results early, I’ll let you all know but my guess is that we won’t know until the Super Bowl.

Who is Asia Cruise? Well, an Asian American female R&B singer signed with a major label, that’s who!

I’ve been meaning to write an article about the whole online Asian American music community for the past 3 or 4 months now but haven’t had much time or energy. Anyway, check out Jennifer Chung - another of the many APA vocalists out there who post videos of themselves singing.
