Mrs. M

You cannot talk about the Mongolian Hip Hop scene – centered in her hometown of Ulaan Baatar – without talking about Mrs M. In many ways she IS the Hip Hop scene. But she’s much more than that, as she channels influences as diverse as Eryka Badu, Macy Gray and Sade. But make no mistake about it, Mrs M is original.

Mrs M started recording and making DIY videos with like-minded friends around 3 years ago, and she quickly broke out with her smooth, sultry flow, and the ability to sing and rap – often combining the two effortlessly in the same song. Her single ‘Bang’ has garnered a million YouTube views (a real feat in a country of only 3 million) and caught the attention of Hong Kong/US music label b2 Music – so much that they added the track onto their VIBE sponsored ‘Best of Asian Hip Hop’ compilation, Urban Asia Vol. 1. Now the same group has signed her for international artist management under their b2 talent Asia division.

Her first English language single ‘Tasty’ dropped in May 2019 on b2 Music and has already gotten 2 million YouTube views, and caught the attention of NY Hip Hop producer Harry Fraud (French Montana, A$AP Mob, Wiz Khalifa, etc) who will work with her in his Brooklyn studio on her first English EP. Following that will be her first full-length album with b2 Music, and spots at major Asian and US festivals next year.

UNVS

Based in Seoul, UNVS represents a new chapter in the evolution of Korean boy bands. Hailing from Korea, Taiwan and Japan, the five members have already made a mark on the K-Pop landscape. Korean broadcaster SBS recently featured the band on their influential “Rookie King” television program, the same show that broke BTS in 2013. This “making of the band” reality series will be broadcast on MTV in 15 markets throughout Asia. Their debut album “Timeless” was released on February 23, featuring well-written, hooky tunes by Korean super-producer Room 102.

SHIMICA

Born of Japanese-Filipina descent and raised in Hong Kong, Shimica is a true Pan-Asian talent ready to break out on the world stage. Her career began in 2014 when her vocal performance on the song ‘The Way We Dance’ won film song of the year in Hong Kong. One of the most accomplished topliners in the region, she has also penned dozens of songs across multiple genres, many of which recorded by top Chinese and Korean stars like Victoria Song (FX), Sammi Cheng and Pakho Chau. As a featured vocalist and topliner she has worked with a variety of artists including RayRay, Bijou, DJ LIZZY and her longtime collaborator SILVERSTRIKE. Shimica has also appeared on albums including Billboard presents Electric Asia Vols. 1 & 3 and Vibe presents Urban Asia Vol 2.
