Founded in 2015, this group amplifies Asian artists through collaborations and hits like 'The Weekend'.
For a taste of their collaborative spirit, check out 'California' with its all-star lineup or the ethereal 'The Weekend' featuring BIBI.
88rising has carved out a space for Asian musicians on the global stage, blending diverse sounds from artists like Rich Brian and Joji. Their 2021 single 'The Weekend' with BIBI became a chart-topper, showcasing their knack for dreamy, R&B-infused tracks that cross borders. They've faced criticism over cultural portrayals, but their albums 'Head in the Clouds' and 'Head in the Clouds II' have solidified their role as a trailblazing force.
Sean Miyashiro started 88rising in 2015 to bridge cultural gaps through music, quickly gathering members like Niki and Higher Brothers. They released their debut album in 2018, followed by a sequel in 2019, and have since expanded with singles featuring artists from Jackson Wang to Warren Hue.
