I found this video in the WeCraveMusic gmail account and almost passed it up as I was not expecting a email, and did not know the addy it came from. But I opened it and I'm glad I did.
New Pop artist Baiyu is a chinese-american transplant. Having moved to the states with her family in the early 90s she graduated from Princeton University in 2008 with a degree in Sociology. While attending college she was a member of the Black Arts Dance Company and a vocalist for the University’s Jazz Ensemble.. She released her first EP "B-Side" in 2010. The EP received a fair amount of buzz and made her a recognized name amongst the real curators of music.
Having now released her second EP "Fan Fair" she is quoted as saying
"Why is it called Fan Fair you ask? Well, it's because this album is really for you... the one that's stuck by me through thick and thin, and told me that I could do anything I set my heart out to do. You're the one that pushed me to create, to be inspired and to be inspiring. Therefore, my thank you comes in the form of song, and these songs are made for your pure, unadulterated enjoyment."
Here is the video for the lead single off the EP
"Take a Number"
Besides the fact that she recorded this EP strictly for those who put her in a position to live out her passions she also is giving all the proceeds toJapanese Aid Relief Organizations to help those affected by the tsunami and earthquake last year. So though she is talented she is also kind hearted.
I advice that everyone go download her new EP and give what they can if they can. Otherwise just enjoy the music and be sure to follow where Baiyu is going because she is defiantly making her way to the top.
