Kollaboration 10 is finally here and it takes the big stage and I mean really big stage with the event being held at the Shrine auditorium in Los Angeles, and that includes a red carpet entrance.  PK and Roy have taken this little love child of an event to something bigger than they could’ve dreamt.   If you’re in LA, check out Kollaboration and meet the next new big Asian-American stars.

When Kollaboration first started in 2000, some people said it was just a little show that would never last.

NOTE:
“One of the biggest knocks on Asian Americans is that we don’t support each other in the entertainment industry. We harshly judge our own entertainers for either being too white, too black, and if you can believe it, too Asian. Kollaboration is a platform where young Asian Americans can perform in front of a live crowd. This show will open the minds of those who don’t give Asian Americans a chance when it comes to expressing themselves creatively. And hopefully, through it, we can witness a new type of Asian American artform we can claim as our own.”

Check out our interview with PK as he speaks about Kollaboration.
