FLASHING LIGHTS : 2008 Fashion Talent Show

Friday April 18th, 2008 @ 6PM

On Friday, April 18th 2008 in Montezuma Hall, located at San Diego State University’s Aztec Center, we are holding our annual Fashion Talent Show. The show’s purpose is to showcase Asian American and Pacific Islander’s place in society and how we contribute to the community with our talent and taste in fashion. The event will feature fashions from prominent designers in the Asian American and Pacific Islander community. There will be various talent and exhibition acts from all over the Southern California region, including dance troupes and musical artists competing for this year’s title of “Fashion Talent Show’s Best Act.”

Music artists on the list include Roscoe Umali and Tatum Jones.

Roscoe Umali brings together all elements of the term “Emcee” in a way that has not been seen since the Golden Era of Hip Hop. In the short span of a year he has redefined the meaning of hustle by collaborating with hip-hop legends such as E-40, Raekwon the Chef, Smif N Wessun, Talib Kweli, and Westcoast Kam. Roscoe is also slated to perform at the “Asian Excellence Awards“.

Los Angeles-based R&B group formed in February 2007 by Asian-American singer/songwriters Hans Cho, Justin Fong and Michael Lee. Under the moniker of their former band name, At Last, the three have appeared on TV shows such as, “America’s Got Talent,” “Showtime at the Apollo,” and “The Wayne Brady Show” and have shared the stage with the likes of Boyz II Men, The Backstreet Boys and Justin Timberlake. See their latest music video “Ain’t No Sunshine”:
