Congratulations to Sam Ock and Lan Li for winning the JCPenney Breakout Performer Contest!
First getting the Top 10 highest views on youtube. Then getting the Top 5 votes, these two musicians are truly deserving to perform on the ISA stages!
Lan will be performing at New York. I love her style, lyrics, and attitude. You can tell she’s just having fun and wanting to share that fun with us.
Sam will be opening up in Los Angeles. Such a great song with a message, nice flow…and my personal favorite part of the video was in the beginning when he freaks out waking up….”eughhooHOLYCRAP!” haha
I heard round the bend that Alex was the runner up, and man…he really deserved it as well. This song is so great, really uplifting and catchy. I wish we had 3 concerts so that they could’ve all won!
(side note: I was really impressed with how many original songs were submitted this year compared to last. Very cool!)
Something has to be said about the over 50 submissions we had to the contest. Every year we get to see a slice of the immensely talented audience that we have watching and following Wong Fu. It’s truly inspirational to US to see who’s on the other side of this computer. The talent, the good hearts and messages, the “nice guys and girls”. Each video submitted was special to us. It remind us why we started; because we loved to be creative and we wanted to share it with others. Thank you for participating in the contest, it motivates us and keeps us driven and grounded. There are so many awesome people in this world and this contest showed us just a sample of what we are all capable of!
