playlist: aapi appreciation pt. 1 by jean sumbilla

Jean is the Design Editor for Overachiever Magazine. She loves being apart of a community empowering Asian women. Aside from her work for the magazine, you can find her studying, being a coffee/boba enthusiast, listening to music, or a combination of all three. BY JEAN SUMBILLA If you didn’t know, the month of May is Asian-Amer-ican and Pacific Islander Heritage Month! Or for our fellow Canadian readers, Asian History Month! So, in order to celebrate and appreciate AAPI this in this play-list, here’s a calm, chill vibe playlist featuring some AAPI artists that you may know or not yet know of! As mentioned above, I made this playlist more on the calm, chill vibe of things, and if you’re wanting songs that are more upbeat… maybe keep an eye out for the next issue (hint hint). From doing a deep dive on Spotify, I found artists that I, myself haven’t heard of until now and hopefully, you found a new artist to listen to as well! Let us know what you think of the playlist by messag-ing us on our social media platforms or if you have any song recommendations too!
