Meshell Ndegeocello
Mercurial and masterful, MESHELL NDEGEOCELLO has survived the best and worst of what a career in music has to offer. She has eschewed genre for originality, celebrity for longevity, and musicals trends for musical truths. She has lived through the boom and bust of the industry and emerged just as she entered - unequivocally herself. Fans have come to expect the unexpected from Meshell, and faithfully followed her on sojourns into soul, spoken word, R&B, jazz, hip-hop, rock, all bound by a lyrical, spiritual search for love, justice, respect, resolution, and happiness.
Christopher Tignor
Brooklyn based violinist, composer, and software engineer Christopher Tignor is best known for his work through his bands Slow Six, Wires.Under. Tension and as a composer for forwardthinking classical ensembles over the last 15 years. Tignor's emotionally charged scores are built from layered strings, percussion, and live electronics and live neatly between worlds, performed around the world at venues ranging from the rock clubs of South by Southwest to Carnegie Hall.
Rich Medina
For the past two decades, Rich Medina has cemented his reputation as an elite DJ, one of few on the planet capable of taking audiences worldwide on a sonic journey through hip-hop, house, soul, afrobeat, funk, breaks and dance classics. Today, many artists who have been Rich’s idols have become peers, and his fans often become his friends, even if just through the shared experience of music.

Today, we are experiencing an outing of the racial ignorance that has long existed in our city, country, and surrounding world. Born out this injustice and in response to the ignorance is art. In art, we find sound. Music keeps us together; it heals and connects -- it motivates and celebrates. Lyrics give life to our souls, the melodies align our hearts, and the rhythms stoke the fire our movements. Often-overlooked is the powerful connection between an album’s music and the accompanying album visual artwork that binds it all together. From Gil Scott Heron's "Moving Target" to Kendrick Lamar’s highly-acclaimed 2015 release, "To Pimp a Butterfly", the evolution of album artwork has transmitted the dynamism of music and social injustices.

Philadelphia Asian American Film Festival Nov. 12-22, 2015
The 2015 Philadelphia Asian American Film Festival presented by Comcast NBC10 Telemundo72 Comcast Spectator, is enthusiastic to announce its 8th annual festival, which will take place from November 12 to November 22, 2015. In under a decade, PAAFF has emerged as the premier Asian American film festival on the East Coast. The festival will feature over 60 films, intimate discussions with filmmakers, special programs on food, music, and culture, including featured guests spoken word artist Michelle Meyers and Peter Shinkoda (Nobu on Netflix's Daredevil).
The centerpiece of the festival will be a special music event with producer and emcee Scott "CHOPS" Jung of Philly's legendary Mountain Brothers, whose producing credits include Kanye West, Snoop Dogg, Lil Wayne, and Nicki Minaj. This multimedia program will explore the Asian American Hip Hop movement through music videos and live performances by artists included in the seminal compilation album, Strength in Numbers. It will also feature a Q&A with CHOPS and special guests to be announced at a later date.
The Philadelphia Asian American Film Festival (PAAFF) is the first and only event of its kind in Philadelphia, bringing in audience members from all over the region and Asian American filmmakers, actors, and leaders, from around the world. The festival also hosts numerous screenings year-round independently and in partnership with regional arts and community organizations.
PAAFF's parent organization, Philadelphia Asian American Film & Filmmakers, is a nonprofit organization founded in 2008 to showcase films by and about Asian Americans and Pacific Islander Americans for the city of Philadelphia and Greater Philadelphia region. They aim to present captivating programs that engage, inspire, and connect our community both to one another and the non-Asian mainstream.

TEDxUCDavisSF :: Redefining Normal
May 17, 2015, our own DJ Junior will be presenting at
TEDxUCDavisSF :: Redefining Normal
During the course of our lives, what we consider to be normal changes as our lives evolve. Our personal interests change as do our responsibilities. What was considered normal 20, even 10 years ago, is not the same as what is consider normal today. These same shifts also occur in society, and we are witnesses to some of those changes now. Previously the world was made up of separate countries focused on its own welfare. Now we see the world as a global community, what happens in other parts of the world is no longer constrained by geography, especially with the development of advanced technology. Many of the things we strive for today are no longer as much about individual success but rather about what and how we can give back.
TEDxUCDavisSF is bringing a great collaboration of speakers, spanning across multiple continents, who are helping shape this new normal. The theme “Redefining Normal” looks to how we, as a society, can make this world a better place for current and future generations.
