On The Rise
Introducing On The Rise, an exciting platform that was first launched in 2022 with a compelling mission: to bridge the gap between the English and Chinese speaking worlds. By delivering captivating fun facts, news, and artist stories, our aim is to connect Chinese-language music with English-speaking listeners. Season 1, titled ”This Is Awesome,” is hosted by Evan Murray. As a father of two Taiwanese/Canadian children, a former touring musician, and an experienced music conference organizer, Evan possesses an extensive network in the music world. Through engaging and relaxed conversations, Evan immersed audiences in the authentic stories of artists from the Chinese-language music scene, fostering a closer bond between the English and Chinese speaking communities. In 2023, get ready for the highly anticipated Season 2, ”Behind the Lyrics, Beyond the Music,” hosted by the remarkable Ginalina. As a Juno-nominated folk singer-songwriter, Ginalina is passionate about infusing Asian traditional or vintage folk songs with a modern twist, captivating a diverse range of audiences while ensuring a sense of familiarity and distinctiveness. This upcoming season will proudly showcase a female-focused series, delving into the life stories of IBPOC or migrant female musicians, allowing their voices to shine. Join us on this captivating journey as we delve deeper into the world of Chinese-language music, celebrating its richness and diversity while fostering meaningful connections between cultures and communities.
