Country music has been a staple of American culture for a long time. Known across the nation and featuring some of the most well-known names in music, this genre is at the heart of what makes this country what it is today. But, just like the rest of mainstream music, the country genre lacks the critical perspective of Asian American artists in the charts.
NuAsia, a Los Angeles CA, based band featured in prominent publications such as Rolling Stone India and Melodic Net News, is beginning to find its place in this genre with a unique perspective as the first all-Asian American country music band.
The latest release from the talented band is aimed at the heart of who they truly are and what they represent. The song “This Country of Mine” pulls on a powerful message with lyrics like, “There is hate in all these spaces, but there is love in this town.” NuAsia challenges the current state of the music industry in America as the lyrics proclaim their search to find love in this country.
NuAsia: the Future of Country Music in the United States
A simple internet search of Asian American musicians comes up with very few top tracks, despite the incredible talent and messages of many of these bands and singers. The few that have found the charts are Asia based artists that have amassed a huge following in Asia before their music began to get popular in the United States.
NuAsia comprises six members, and for the first time in country music history, all members are Asian. Hailing from numerous backgrounds, the six members have come together to climb what many have found to be an impossible mountain: the country music charts.
With Quiet Violence and Islands in the Stream rapidly gaining traction within six weeks of release, country music is starting to take notice as a collective, realizing that this band could be the one that makes it.
Conclusion
NuAsia is a country music band to watch and root for as they come up against the tough conditions in the music industry for an Asian American band. As they strive to stay true to their message and their heritage, America is beginning to take notice and is asking the question; will NuAsia be the first Asian American band to finally break through the barriers in the mainstream music industry?
