The Listening Room is a platform for Southeast Asian musicians to connect with the community in an intimate, engaging space. Our first group of performances are performed live in New York and uploaded online to be shared and connect with other Southeast Asian diaspora around the world.
Soudavone is a Lao-Thai American performing artist and actor, recently signed to SG Label-- a major Lao record label. She made her music debut as a featured artist on Angel, a multilingual single (Lao, Thai, Cambodian, English) by labelmate Soupha.
Born in Nongkhai, Thailand at a refugee camp and raised in the U.S., Soudavone's love for performing started at age five-- singing 90's Thai pop to the mirror and acting out scenes from music videos and films, always imagining herself as the nang aek (lead actress). Growing up in a poor immigrant home with limited resources, Thai lakorn & music became her first stage and creative training ground.
As Southeast Asian artists continue to rise she hopes to see more representation, more support, and more space for their voices to heard around the world.
