Asia 4
 Based
in Southern California, Asia 4 is a young dynamic group consisting of
4 talented musicians and vocalists of Vietnamese Origins. They exploded
into the Vietnamese Music Industry a couple of years ago and have captured
the hearts of many fans across North American and as far away as Europe,
Australia and South East Asia with their many hit singles. They are constantly
swamped with fan mails from around the world in the form of emails, fanbook
entries as well as regular mails and special momentos sent to their postal
box. They are truly taking the Asian music industry by storm as one of
the fastest growing Male singing group around with the dream of hitting
mainstream and be known more than an Asian Male singing group but a singing
group with no cultural references and their music enjoyed by everyone.
The group consists of Cardin, Evan, Spencer and James who come together
with a their range of talents to harmonize as one. Cardin joined Asia
Entertainment Inc., one of the two largest Vietnamese Production companies
outside of Vietnam in 1999. After an initial trial with another group
of singers, there was no chemistry and Cardin was asked to form a new
group. He recruited Spencer and Evan, who had appeared in the other large
production company, Thuy Nga's Paris By Night Video 51 - "We Like
to Party" as the group "the Gin-Sen" performing along side
singer Tommy Ngo (released Christmas 1999). A few months later, Bill joined
the group and just before the video shoot for their debut song "Will
You Still" , Asia coined the name "Asia 4" for the group.
The video was filmed in the spring of 2000, and the group was introduced
to the vast Vietnamese audience around the world outside Vietnam with
the release of Asia Video 30 a few months later. Unfortunately, things
did not work out with Bill and he was soon replaced by James, who is also
Spencer's brother. And from that point on, Asia 4 started to gain the
attention of young and old alike with their new performing style and unique
songs which were missing from the Vietnamese music industry. They continued
to film music videos and records songs for their debut album. There are
a lot of talented people out there, but you need a certain chemistry in
the group for the group to grow and survive. They produce and perform
their own original music ranging from dance hits to heart touching ballads
that strikes the soul. These 4 talented guys love to do two things together,
sing and perform in front of adoring fans.
The group is always continuing to grow in terms of their music and their
stage performance constantly rehearsing to perfect their routines. They
work hard to promote their sound to a broader range of audiences by constantly
going on concert tours across North America and doing numerous interviews
for web or print. And as such, they continue to write new songs and music
for future projects. Their first solo album, released August 2001 has
been a hit in the Vietnamese and Asian American market with hit songs
like "Will You Still", "A Part of You", "Tell
Me", "Why Lie to Me" and "I Don't Need Your Love"
and "I Never Thought". They are working on their second solo
album which will satisfy themselves and their fans musically and artistically.
They have been in 4 music videos to date, starting with Asia Video 30
with "Will You Still"; Asia Video 31 - "I Don't Need Your
Love"; Asia Video 32 - "Footprints of Vietnam" (with singer
Da Nhat Yen); Asia Video 33 - "A Part of You"; and the latest
release, Asia Video 34 - "Tell Me". The guys just finished filming
Asia Video 36 in early January 2002 with "Why Lie to Me", which
will be released in a few months. They have 2 albums that they produced,
the debut: "A Part of You" (released August 2001) and "Merry
Merry Christmas" with Trish Thuy Trang (released November 2001),
and several compilation albums with other singers in Asia Entertainment.
They are set to hit the recording studio full time in the upcoming weeks
to work on their highly anticipated second album which will be released
this summer. They are very excited about this as the material will definitely
surpass the first album in terms of sound, music techniques and style.
They realize that the road to stardom is not an easy one, but their hard
work and determination is the key to their success.
Update: Asia 4 decided to go their own separate way. Spencer left for
Texas 2 years ago and James opened up 3 more chiropractic offices in San
Diego and orange county. Their last video together was released last August
2003. Evan and Cardin had been appearing on videos. But the last video
that was released only had Cardin. Cardin's solo site should be out soon.
