A$IA– As Instagram and Tik-Tok pave way for creatives to engage with fans, she is rising as a media influencer embracing the time to adapt as an artist in the aftermath of COVID-19. She was crowned Columbus, Ohio’s winner of a month-long competition, Crowd Control, where the audience chooses their favorite performer. Her attitude on stage is mighty as she goes bar for bar like Young M.A. but can also acknowledge a time to be vulnerable.
