Inland Empire Music Awards Turn Unsung Local Artists into Headliners
By Manny Sandoval
The Garcia Center for the Arts looked and felt like a hometown Grammys on Saturday, Nov. 8, as Only Empire Now rolled out an over-the-top red carpet for its 3rd Annual Inland Empire Music Awards, celebrating nine winners and dozens of nominees who are reshaping the region’s music scene.
Artists arrived in full glam, stopping for interviews and photos on a packed red carpet before stepping into the auditorium to perform and accept awards. Riverside artist
Kyiemaa was named Untapped Artist of the Year, and local viral sensation Pak Joko took home Song of the Year for his breakout track “IE IE,” underscoring the event’s mix of new voices and already buzzing acts.
For co-founder and awards show visionary Jay Kasai, the night was the realization of a vision he wrote in a notebook nearly a decade ago — one born from the absence of recognition for working musicians.
“I got a trophy for film. I got a trophy for tennis and other things,” Kasai said. “I've been doing music since I was 16, and I've
never gotten recognition for it. I thought, okay, we’re missing something.”
“So I decided to build a platform that would give other artists — even if I can't participate — a chance to have that void filled,” he added. “Only Empire Now is founded on that principle: making sure other artists won't face the same issue.”
Kasai, who manages “all graphic design, all curation, music entertainer outreach,” and calls himself “probably the most ingrained in the community as far as musi-

Music Awards (cont.)
- cians go,” said Only Empire Now was founded in 2022. The first Inland Empire Music Awards were held in 2023.
“We go by Only Empire as a platform,” he said. “We’re looking for the person no one's heard yet. We're not looking for the most popular. It’s not a popularity contest — it’s, ‘Do you make great music?’ We listened to every single submission. It took us three days.” Submissions number in the hundreds, including at least 20 albums, each with five to 10 tracks, plus singles from across the region. The team archives everything and passes it to a council of judges.
“We listen to everything and weed out the songs that aren't professionally made,” Kasai said. “Then we bring what remains to the council. We look people up, try to learn their stories. Sometimes we even reach out to their teams to learn more.”
Finalists are then announced on social media, where public voting plays a role in the outcome.
“Each category is posted on social, and the number of comments or votes a nominee gets actually matters in the final decision,” said media relations representative Jay Guevara. “The judges have their own scorecards too. So it's as unbiased as it can be — people really do have a voice.”
Kyiemaa, who has only been making music for a year and a half, said her journey into music has been fast but deeply meaningful.
“Performing has only been a couple months,” she said. “But I used to be a dancer when I was younger, so I’ve always been performing in some way.”
Born in Oakland and raised across several cities before settling in Riverside, Kyiemaa said she proudly calls the Inland Empire home.
“I’ve been here the longest. I went to North High School in Riverside — shout out North,” she
said. “I’ve been out here since sixth grade. I consider myself from Riverside.”
She performed “For You” and “Coco,” two mid-tempo R&B tracks that she felt would set the mood.
“It was more intimate than I’m used to — people were closer than usual,” she said. “I was a little nervous for the first song, but I felt really good. I chose songs that would set the mood, and I think it went well.”
Kyiemaa describes her sound as a blend of pop, R&B, and trap.
“Genre-wise, I’m very influenced by R&B and pop,” she said. “My new stuff is more trap-influenced. But yeah, I’m definitely a pop-R&B girl all the way.”
She cited Sabrina Claudio, Ravyn Lenae and Ariana Grande as vocal inspirations, and said her album Hold Me Softly was created during a difficult personal chapter.
“I was going through it when I made the album, I really was,” she said. “To hear that people are resonating with it and it's getting to ears I didn’t think it would reach — it keeps us going.”
The awards show, she said, showed how supportive the Inland Empire music community can be.
“Everyone was so friendly — I really felt part of the community,” she said. “Usually it’s just me and two other people making music, so to be in a space like this and feel so welcomed... I love it.”
Guevara, who ran the red carpet, said the goal was to give local talent a redcarpet experience that felt like the Grammys.
“I reached out to media companies and assigned them red carpet spots,” he said. “That way the artists felt embraced, like they were stars. The IE has a lot of familiar faces, and people want to connect with them.”
Guevara said this year’s show took a full year to plan, from growing sponsorships to expanding media coverage.
“It was a year-long process — securing new sponsors, bringing in
more media platforms,” he said. “We really wanted to give it a facelift and take it to another level.”
Sponsors included the Ontario Reign hockey team, which provided four game tickets for the Collaboration of the Year winners, the Empire Strikers soccer team, Bushfire Kitchen, and others.
“The Ontario Reign actually sponsored Collaboration of the Year,” Guevara said. “The Empire Strikers offered a gift basket. Bushfire Kitchen — which has locations in LA, OC, and San Diego — really wanted to support this award show.”
Despite the support, Kasai emphasized that the event remains a passion project — not a paycheck.
“We have an open bar, we have media, lighting, a venue — and no one pays us a dollar,” he said. “Every artist enters free. We try to treat them as special as they are.”
While sponsors like SoCal Trash Army and Inland Wire help cover costs, Kasai said he still pays much of the expense himself.
“Some people literally just write a check because they believe in us,” he said. “I come out of pocket every year. I lose money — a lot of it. And I’m okay with that because I care.”
Kasai, who is also a musician, does not submit his own work for consideration.
“I spend all this money, and I can’t even submit my own music,” he said. “And I make music with many of these artists. But that’s fine — it’s worth it.”
What sets the event apart, Kasai said, is that respected, award-winning producers still show up.
“The very first year, the biggest producer in hiphop — Hit-Boy from Fontana — sent his family to accept his award,” he said. “That made other artists realize this is something to take seriously.”

Governor’s Forum (cont.)
- my, homelessness, and federal-state relations.
Invited based on polling, fundraising, and campaign activity, six candidates were asked to participate, but only four took the stage: Xavier Becerra, former U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services; Tony Thurmond, California’s Superintendent of Public Instruction; Antonio Villaraigosa, former Los Angeles Mayor and State Assembly Speaker; and Betty T. Yee, former State Controller.
Despite overlapping values, each candidate leaned heavily on personal history and policy pedigree to pitch themselves as the most prepared to lead California through its toughest challenges. And while no candidate dominated the stage, their distinct responses revealed key differences that could reshape the race ahead of the June 2026 primary.
Healthcare dominated the conversation early. All four promised expanded coverage, but only Thurmond offered a clear plan for a single-payer system. “We are going to make sure that we have single payer in this state under my administration,” said Thurmond, who recounted the death of his brother at 35 from a rare liver disorder after losing his job and health insurance. “That changes on my watch as your governor.”
Becerra, meanwhile, touted his national leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic. “We pulled California and the country out of a pandemic with close to 700 million COVID vaccine shots in arms,” he said. “And not once did we charge Americans a dime.” He pointed to his negotiations with pharmaceutical companies to cut drug costs by up to 80% and vowed to be “California’s healthcare governor” because “I’ve done it, not just promised it.”
Yee emphasized regional equity, particularly in underserved areas like the Inland Empire. “We cannot have a one-size-fits-all health system,” she said. “Each region has unique needs. The IE, for example, needs a stronger healthcare workforce that can offer culturally competent care and address chronic illness.” As a daughter of immigrants and caregiver to her 102year-old mother, Yee said she brings lived experi-
ence to a system in need of reform.
Villaraigosa took a more populist route, tying his health policies to the struggles of his mother, who had to quit her job to care for him following multiple surgeries as a child. “I never forgot that,” he said. “That’s why I pushed to expand Medi-Cal as an Assemblymember and later helped launch the Healthy Families Program, the largest expansion of children’s healthcare since MediCal.” But Villaraigosa also issued a stark warning: “I’m not going to sell you snake oil. It’s going to be tough to provide that care. But I’ve done it before, and I’ll do it again.”
When the debate shifted to taxes and fiscal strategy, the candidates diverged more sharply. Becerra slammed the current tax system as favoring billionaires over working Californians. “Someone making $150 million is taxed at a lower effective rate than someone making $75,000. That’s broken,” he said. He vowed to modernize the tax code and redirect state resources toward healthcare, child care, and infrastructure. “Too much money is being misspent. We need to invest at the front door, not the emergency room.”
Thurmond echoed the need for tax reform—but from a progressive lens. “I will provide tax breaks to working Californians so they have more money for gas, groceries, and rent,” he said. “But we’ll tax the ultra-wealthy—those with access to the most influence—to fund housing, mental health, and support for seniors and people with disabilities.” He proposed building 2 million units of affordable housing by 2030 and penalizing large employers who rely on Medi-Cal to cover their workforce.
Yee took a pragmatic approach, stating plainly that “we cannot borrow our way out of a looming fiscal crisis.” She supports targeted tax increases but insisted that reforms must be paired with a more efficient healthcare system. “We need to prove to Californians that we can deliver better access and affordability before we raise revenues,” she said. She also stressed the need to build economic resilience to withstand further federal attacks on safety net programs.
Villaraigosa rejected new taxes altogether, instead calling to “grow the pie”
through business-friendly reforms. “California is the hardest state to do business in,” he said. “We need to reduce regulatory barriers, build infrastructure, and make it easier to build housing at all levels— market rate, workforce, and supportive housing.” As mayor, he noted, “we built more infrastructure than any other city in the U.S. during the Great Recession. That’s the kind of leadership we need again.”
The Inland Empire’s economic future took center stage next, with all four candidates agreeing the region has long been overlooked. Yee warned that the IE has been ignored in California’s tech and innovation planning. “It’s time we invest in high-quality jobs in manufacturing, clean energy, and healthcare right here,” she said. “We also have tools like the Earned Income Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit that have been proven to lift people out of poverty. We must use what already works.”
Thurmond promised to make the IE the centerpiece of the state’s next economic chapter. “This region has the worst air quality in the U.S. and too many low-paying, polluting jobs,” he said. “Let’s realign our institutions with high-growth sectors like biotech, which can create 600,000 jobs, and STEM, which has 85,000 unfilled roles.” He called for “grow-your-own” pipelines for teachers and healthcare workers and pledged to provide scholarships to keep local talent local.
Villaraigosa pointed to his track record. “I’ve always stood up for regions like the Inland Empire and the Central Valley,” he said. “We need all of the above: energy security, job creation, housing at every level.” He decried gas prices approaching $9 per gallon and called for pragmatic policies that balance climate goals with economic needs. “We need to build—and fast,” he said.
Becerra framed the IE’s challenges as a broader failure to reward work. “My father was a construction worker. My mother was a clerical worker. They bought a home, sent four kids to college, and retired with dignity—in California,” he said. “Today, young families can’t do that. If I’m governor, they will.”

San Bernardino has been selected as one of six U.S. cities to join a new national cohort aimed at making it cheaper, faster and simpler to start and grow small businesses by cutting unnecessary red tape.
The city, represented by Mayor Helen Tran and the Economic Development Department, will participate in the inaugural Regulatory Justice Initiative: Expanding Access to Small Business Opportunity cohort, a program of the Mayors Innovation Project in partnership with Cities Work at the Institute for Justice.
The six cities were chosen through a national competitive application process. In addition to San Bernardino, the cohort includes Hartford, Connecticut; Honolulu, Hawaii; Laredo, Texas; Rochester, Minnesota; and Thornton, Colorado.
“Mayors know that small, local busi-
nesses are the heart and soul of their communities, but in many places, regulatory roadblocks and outdated procedures often complicate the process for entrepreneurs,” said Katya Spear, managing director of the Mayors Innovation Project. “We’re thrilled to work with these cities and their committed leaders to provide support and analysis to reduce regulatory barriers and expand opportunities for entrepreneurship.”
The initiative is designed to help forward-thinking municipalities rethink regulations that may unintentionally slow down or discourage entrepreneurs, particularly those with fewer resources or less access to legal and technical support.
At a time when building local wealth and supporting neighborhood-serving businesses is a priority in cities like San Bernardino, the Regulatory Justice Initiative will provide participating municipalities with expert guidance on how to streamline rules, modernize permitting and licensing processes, and remove un-
necessary administrative hurdles.
Powered by Cities Work’s legal and regulatory expertise, the cohort will engage city teams in expert-led workshops, peerto-peer exchanges, and one-on-one coaching and analysis focused on their local regulatory environment. “Participating cities will walk away from this cohort with an analysis of their city’s regulatory environment, tailored regulatory reform recommendations, and a detailed implementation strategy,” said Jennifer McDonald, director of Cities Work.
The cities selected for the inaugural cohort are:
Mayor Helen Tran and the Economic Development Department at the City of San Bernardino, California; Mayor Arunan Arulampalam and the Department of Development Services at the City of Hartford, Connecticut; Mayor Rick Blangiardi and the Office of Economic Revitalization at the City of Honolulu, Hawaii; Mayor Victor Treviño and the Office of
Economic Development at the City of Laredo, Texas; Mayor Kim Norton and the Department of Community Development at the City of Rochester, Minnesota; and Mayor Jan Kulmann and the Office of Economic Development at the City of Thornton, Colorado.
For San Bernardino and the other participating cities, the initiative is expected to result in clear, actionable recommendations that can be folded into ongoing economic development and small business support efforts. That includes looking at how long it takes to secure permits, how complicated licensing processes are, and whether existing codes or procedures may be unintentionally outdated or duplicative.
Residents, advocates, and local leaders interested in similar work are encouraged by the organizers to explore Cities Work’s “Barriers to Business” toolkit, which offers guidance on how communities can identify and reduce regulatory burdens for small businesses.
Alder Square Breaks Ground, Adding 92 Affordable Homes in San Bernardino’s Arrowhead Grove Revitalization

Community News
Alder Square, the fourth phase of an ambitious re-imagining of a 1940s public housing development, will deliver 92 high-quality affordable homes for families and individuals earning 30% to 80% of the area median income.
National CORE, the Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino (HACSB) and their partners broke ground Nov. 4 for the new community, which is expected to open in mid-2027 as part of the multi-phase Arrowhead Grove redevelopment program launched in 2012.
“With the groundbreaking of Alder Square, we’re proud to continue building that momentum and delivering high-quality, affordable housing that uplifts the entire community," HACSB Executive Director Maria Razo said. “This next phase deepens our commitment to residents and the future of San Bernardino.”
Arrowhead Grove is transforming the 38-acre Waterman Gardens public housing development, opened in 1943 in the heart of San Bernardino, into a modern community. Previous phases – Valencia Vista (2016), Olive Meadow (2017) and Crestview Terrace (2021) – already have delivered more than 300 high-quality homes.
“I’m so proud of the work we’ve accomplished through our stellar partnership with HACSB,” National CORE
President Michael Ruane said. “I’m excited to see what we will accomplish together for the residents of San Bernardino with this next phase of development.”
Alder Square will consist of six, three-story gardenstyle buildings and a one-story community center with resident services offices. The mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments will include 14 mobility-accessible apartments and 10 hearing-accessible apartments.
Each home will feature electric appliances, in-unit washer and dryer and water-efficient fixtures. Onsite solar panels will offset energy use and support electric vehicle charging stations.
Community amenities will include a swimming pool, picnic area, children’s play area, community garden, dog run, recreational space, shaded landscaping and parking. The property emphasizes walkability and sustainability, with drought-tolerant landscaping and pedestrian pathways linking residential buildings, open spaces and community areas.
“Every family deserves access to safe and affordable homes,” said Joe Baca Jr., fifth district supervisor for San Bernardino County. “Arrowhead Grove is a testament to what can be accomplished when we come together with a shared commitment to restoring dignity and opportunity for our residents. I want to thank National CORE and the Housing Authority for their continued partnership and dedication to transforming lives
Flores
in our community.”
Funding for the development is being provided by the County of San Bernardino, the City of San Bernardino, Hudson Housing Capital, Capital One, California Community Reinvestment Corporation, HACSB and the California Department of Housing and Community Development’s Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC) program.
“Arrowhead Grove is a true best practice – a success story,” San Bernardino Mayor Helen Tran said. “We are proud to partner with National CORE, the county and others to help provide 92 additional affordable housing units for our residents.”
In addition, the development received a $7.1 million AHSC grant to invest in community improvements, including bikeways, bus service and bus stop improvements, urban greening and improved sidewalk upgrades with high visibility crosswalks. The AHSC program is administered by the California Strategic Growth Council.
“Alder Square goes beyond just building 92 affordable homes, it connects people to opportunity,” said Lisette Anzoategui, program manager at the Strategic Growth Council. “Alder Square shows what’s possible when housing, transportation and climate investments work together, connecting people to jobs, schools and new community amenities that improve lives far beyond a front door.”
San Bernardino Veterans Day Salute Adds Resource Fair, Honors Hometown Heroes With Special Challenge Coins
By Denise Berver
The City of San Bernardino Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department hosted their Annual Veteran’s Day Salute on Saturday, November 8th at Court Street Square in Downtown San Bernardino. For the first time, this year’s event was expanded to include a Veteran’s Resource Fair highlighting no-cost services available for Veterans.
Organizations including the San Bernardino Veteran’s
Chamber of Commerce, Arrowhead United Way and DAV Chapter 12 handed out hygiene kits and provided information to Veterans regarding access to programs including assistance with food, housing and mental health resources.
Following the presentation of colors by the San Bernardino Police Department Honor Guard, San Bernardino City Unified School District Board Member Felicia Alexander gave a brief history on the origins of Veteran’s Day before the 2025 City of San Bernardino Hometown Heroes were recognized.
This year’s honored Veterans included Dorothy Norman - United States Army, Tech Sergeant Allen Seymour – United States Air Force, Staff Sergeant Elsie M. Fallin-Paulino – United States Army, and Staff Sergeant Ching Lee Trechard – United States Army.
Acknowledging the local heroes in attendance, a special 2025 Veteran’s Salute Challenge Coin – a military token traditionally representing unity, identity and camaraderie - was also presented to Veterans in the audience in appreciation for their service.
