Celebrating AAPI Members of the Electronic Music Industry

Even with various obstacles and the unfortunate recent aggression towards Asian Americans since the pandemic, there is still a growing talent pool of AAPI artists and industry figures. Apologies in advance to those who we did not get a chance to include in our list and apologies to those who do not necessarily associate themselves as AAPI.

In no particular order, 6AM wanted to bring you this constantly expanding list of AAPI dance music community members.
