Asian American singer Tadashi‘s upcoming EP, ‘Hedonism’, is a hyperpop-infused project that reflects his spontaneous, live-in-the-moment attitude. Featuring tracks like ‘Crash’, which blends Japanese and English lyrics and boasts the bilingual factor of his music, the EP was inspired by a trip to Japan and Tadashi’s desire to create something bold for the Asian-American community. A fan of 88rising, Tadashi aims to inspire other Asian-American artists by showing them they can follow their dreams too. Hedonism was recorded impulsively, with Tadashi pouring everything into the project—ignoring school commitments and spending all his money to make it happen. The result is an EP full of energy, fun, and unapologetic self-expression.
