"It's been pretty amazing. We all know that 88rising has always been highlighting Asian Americans and Asian artists in general. So, to be part of that representation feels great. I just love playing on the stage, DJ Nick Cheo told amNewYork. It's kind of a double-edged sword because I feel like Asian American artists, myself included, tend to box themselves into the Asian American category, whereas I'd rather just be an artist who happens to be Asian, and I think 88rising does a great job"
