It’s a declaration of strength and resilience for the next generation.
“I feel like most artists these days aren’t aware of who they are; the good, bad, and the ugly. I make music for the self-aware and want to conquer the dark forces that plague them. This is the introduction to evolution,” the husband and soon-to-be father reveals in an exclusive press statement to Medium Creative Agency.
Born Asa Williams, AsaTheProdigy is the epitome of the word entertainer. A 757 resident by way of Virginia city Portsmouth, Asa is a literal prodigy percussionist. With the ability to play over 16 different instruments, he began writing and recording music at an early age. Fast forward, his talents have allowed him to headline the Live Your Dreams Tour in front of over 4,000 high school students across the DMV region and open up for national recording artists Tee Grizzley and Rico Nasty. His uplifting and empowering messages inspire hope this generation has been waiting for.

Star2 x Sprite x Luh Kel release the new single and video “Where Would You Go?”. The song taps into the frustration of questioning someone’s loyalty to you. The verses seamlessly shift between English and Thai in a vibrant fusion of R&B-infused melodic hip hop that is both poignant and powerful.
“Where Would You Go?” was filmed at Wat Saket (The Golden Mount), which is a significant ancient Buddhist temple in Bangkok where monks live and pray. Many scenes took place in the cave on the property that displays a large replica of the towering 33 ft. “Bamiyan Buddha” from central Afghanistan that was destroyed by the Taliban in 2001, and recreated to bring back the lost cultural heritage.
“Where Would You Go?” is from Star2’s forthcoming EP, No Place Like Home, which is set to drop on May 9th.
