There is a great defict in main stream Asian American music. Asians are stereotyped as the "studious geek," doing well in school, know kung-fu, and experts of classical instruments. One Asian singer/songwriter was told on a number of occasions that if it were not for him being Asian he would have been signed. Below is an example of music from an Asian band trying to break these stereotypes and become successful in the music industry.
