Who's Behind These Pop Star Twitter Fan Accounts?

My next episode is with Alexa, who has seen it all, done it all. Currently at Sony, she worked at Spotify for quite some time, after she ran a successful fan account on Twitter dedicated to the boy band, 5 Seconds of Summer. Alexa spills the tea on how she grew the account 1400% and that was just the beginning of her career in music and entertainment. She spills the tea on music marketing drama, and teaches the not so obvious differences in K-Pop and J-Pop. We catch up on the new Netflix documentary, "Pop Star Academy", obsess over Sabrina Carpenter, and more! Make sure to follow me on Instagram and TikTok @hearditsaidit.

What Does "Slumdog Millionaire" and "The Cheetah Girls" Have In Common?

In this week's episode, I speak with Rithika @rithikasilvers to discuss how we discovered music as first-generation kids, balancing the music we heard at home and from our immigrant parents versus the music we heard from our peers.

We discuss how as we have witnessed more Asian representation in film and television, we've also noticed the growing influence of Bollywood and K-Pop in American pop music. Plus, Rithika is an old Drake STAN. Tune in to listen to some hilarious anecdotes about her deep passion for old Drake and how new artists like FKA Twigs are giving Beyonce a run for her money.
