Before AAPI month ends, we need to tell you about AAPI artists you should be listening to. And honestly, you should listen to them all year round because they’re amazing! While there are fantastic artists in all genres, we’re going to focus on pop punk and adjacent genres, with primarily lesser-known artists you may not know, but should!
Ricky Jab
First up is artist and producer, Ricky Jab. If you’re on pop punk TikTok, you’re probably familiar with him because
1. He’s in a hardcore band, Unsafe Unsound. They have some amazing covers that have rightfully gone viral on TikTok! As for their original music, we recommend ‘Lost.’
2. But he’s also gone viral on TikTok because he has some insane remixes that go hard. You can listen to his remix of Olivia Rodrigo’s, ‘driver’s license,’ which has over a million streams on Spotify, btw.
Okay, but we’re still not done. He’s also currently the touring guitarist for one of our other favorite pop punk artists, Taylor Acorn, who is opening for another one of our favorites, Loveless! You can check out the dates below and get tickets here.

In The Mourning
Next, we have In The Mourning! ITM features LA artist Amanda Tran. Her music is described as “rock music for fans of Hello Kitty” and it’s pretty accurate. We love so many of her songs, like: ‘MONEY’ and ‘if he wanted to, he would,’ which we absolutely recommend listening to. But, the one we’re going to link below is her newest song, ‘Leave (Get Out,) which you can check out.
Bonus mention, their photographer, Yising Kao is also Asian! Her work is absolutely amazing!

Series Break
Series Break is an up-and-coming, female-fronted pop punk band from Colorado. Since they are a fairly newer band, they don’t have as many songs as the other artists on the list. But, what they have released is really cool and we look forward to hearing more of them! You can listen to their latest single, ‘California’ below.
