This is it. The big one. The world-famous Kollaboration movement's flagship show, Kollaboration 11, returns to Los Angeles this weekend with a stacked lineup of up-and-coming Asian American talent. Always a fun night.
This year's competitors include afterschoolspecial, Andrew Figueroa Chiang and the Blazing Rays of the Sun, Dawen, Emanon Dance Crew, Inch Chua, Monsters Calling Home, Noel Kunz and Lions Ambition.
Guest performers include Kpop star G.NA, comedian PK, singer/songwriter (and last year's Kollaboration winner) Clara C, opening act Ensemble Memo and more. The evening's guest judges are Jin Akanishi, Ashley Choi, David Choi, Ryan Higa and Kelly Hu.
It's all going down this Saturday, November 5 at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles. Here are some more details about the show:
Kollaboration 11I'm glad I'm not a judge this time around -- the competition is stiff. I'm very familiar with a few of these artists -- some of them are good friends -- while others I'll be seeing for the first time. Whatever the case, I always walk away from Kollaboration feeling like I just saw the next big star.
