Asian American and Pacific Islander Artists to Celebrate!

May 6, 2024

Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month started as a way to spotlight the amazing contributions of these communities in the US. It all began with Congress and advocacy groups wanting to celebrate the history and achievements of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. They picked May because it marks some big moments, like the arrival of the first Japanese immigrants in 1843 and the completion of the transcontinental railroad, largely built by Chinese immigrants, in … Continued

Of all of the accomplishments I’ve racked up in life, I maybe pulled off the most impressive of all time this summer. I’ve set foot on North Korean soil, released a full length music album, obtained my real estate broker’s license, been featured on HGTV, traveled the nation performing slam poetry at NACA and APCA conferences, and colleges and universities, married the love of my life, and many more exciting things.

Bazooka Ball

“Yes, last-minute we had to change location due to their being confusion with reservations, facilities, and the campus police. It ended up working out though as the change of location ended up being better for Jay and the setup with electricity being right there and not having to be setup. Those who played seemed to thoroughly enjoy the game, and we want to thank you for all of your help and assistance through the booking process. We look forward to continuing working with you throughout the rest of this semester and those to come. “

“I just wanted to let you know that the two gentlemen that delivered and set up the mechanical bull could not have been nicer. They were extremely professional, polite, and patient. I think rural Iowa might have been a shock to them, but I hope they had as good of a time as we did. These two were a good representation of your company and I wanted to make sure you knew this! I know it is hard to find people to work this day and age but these two did a great job!”

Will Jay

“Everything was wonderful with Will Jay. He was easy to work with during the event and our students truly loved having him – I have already received requests to bring him to campus when we are allowed to do face to face events again. Here is what one person text me after the event, “I hope you can tell Will Jay how powerful it was, I’m talking to so many people about it and they all loved it and were touched by his songs and words”. There were multiple messages in the chat during the event last night talking about how amazing his lyrics were, his voice, most importantly students were able to relate in to the messages he was talking and singing about. I think Will Jay has a new fan base here at CMU and they are going to consume the music he has out now – and are eagerly anticipating what he has in store.”

Elizabeth Acevedo

“She [Elizabeth Acevedo] was wonderful. It was a perfect fit for the event, the audience loved her! She gave them a space to explore some emotions they may have or need to understand from an outsider’s perspective or just a space to hear what she had to say abut her experiences, observations, etc. One of the students from the club we were collaborating with even said we need to bring her back in the future. She is one performer we will be keeping in our heads for future performances.”
