When Kollaboration first started in 2000, some people said it was just a little show that would never last. Fast Fwd: 11 years later... soon to be 10 cities, 31 shows, tens of thousands of attendees, and MILLIONS of online viewers later... Kollaboration 10 has ARRIVED! Join us Saturday, March 6, 2010 @ the SHRINE Auditorium as Kollaboration Los Angeles presents the BIGGEST Asian talent show in American history to date!

NOTE:
"One of the biggest knocks on Asian Americans is that we don’t support each other in the entertainment industry. We harshly judge our own entertainers for either being too white, too black, and if you can believe it, too Asian. Kollaboration is a platform where young Asian Americans can perform in front of a live crowd. This show will open the minds of those who don’t give Asian Americans a chance when it comes to expressing themselves creatively. And hopefully, through it, we can witness a new type of Asian American artform we can claim as our own."

The Dari Awards

The annual DARI Award was created by The Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA) and the Korean Cultural Center of Los Angeles (KCCLA) to recognize companies and individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the introduction of Korean creative content in the American marketplace. The Dari Awards (DARI is Korean for ‘bridge’) also showcases work produced by the event’s recipients.

This year marks the fifth Dari Awards, with awards to be giving in the following four categories: Media Partnership Award, Business Partnership Award, Korean Company of the Year Award, and Person of the Year Award.

Past recipients of the Dari Awards include leading companies such as Tartan Films, K2 Network, Taffy Entertainment, YA Entertainment, CJ Entertainment America, Freestyle Releasing, Nexon, Gamevil, and the William Morris Agency.

The 2009 Dari Awards is scheduled to take place at the KOREA CENTER , located at 5509 Wilshire Blvd. Los Angeles, CA at 6:30PM. All recipients have ultimately committed themselves towards creating bridges between the two cultures of Korea and the US, and their outstanding works serve to foster appreciation of Korean culture and creative content.

Meet our Kollaboration Acoustic 3 Competitors!

   AFRAID OF EVEREST
Gerald Ko is in fact a pharmacist who a little over a year ago decided to share his love for music with the world by uploading performances on Youtube. With a screenname of "Singindork888", he never imagined his videos would attract a following of internet viewers. Although he'll be keeping his day job for a long time to come, he remains inspired to continue sharing his music online and developing as a singer songwriter.

   GABE BONDOC
Singer, guitarist, songwriter, producer. Only a few words are needed to describe this performer. He’s been performing since 2003 at various events, high schools, colleges and festivals. And when he first picked up the guitar, little did he know how quickly he would start writing original songs and be able to hear fans singing along to them. With the power of Gabe’s live show, MySpace, YouTube, BlogTV and the word of mouth, his fans are growing in numbers. And with Gabe’s latest EP release titled “Gentlemen”, this California artist is set to go national.

   JINAH KIM
Jinah Kim resides in Los Angeles with her semi-retired parents and no boyfriend. With a B.A. in English and no job, she writes songs to pass the time between meals and trips to the Kogi truck (tweet her! /jinahmusic). She has been known to eat her feelings. She also eats up music by her heroes Alanis Morissette, Fiona Apple, and Rachael Yamagata. What is left of the feast is what you hear on her myspace, recordings, and at live shows--like KOLLAB ACOUSTIC!
