If you’re tuning back into Spice on the Beat after a while, let me catch you up. May is Asian American History Month, and to celebrate my heritage, I’m highlighting some of my Asian artist friends here in the city of Brotherly Love. We began the series with alt-R&B singer and multi-instrumentalist SANTRISTÁN, who absolutely crushed the stage at Warehouse on Watts. If you haven’t had a chance to check out his post or the work he is doing, you can read about him and listen to his interview here. 

This week, we’re changing our tune with Vietnamese-American DJ, Truc ‘Musho’ Trinh. Truc’s journey is a testament to the transformative power of music and finding one’s self through the power of song. Originally from Atlantic City, New Jersey, he brought his talents over to Philadelphia, where he honed his skills in the arts, starting out as a Bboy/Breakdancer. His passion for dance led him to develop a unique musicality and rhythm, which eventually guided him to the decks, opening up a whole new world of music as a DJ.
