Ozzy: There are very few Asian Americans in the entertainment business. Why do you think that is?


Chelsea: An unfortunate fact, but very true; Asian-American artists are still vastly under-represented in U.S. mainstream entertainment. I remember when I was growing up, I only had the Britneys, the Christinas and the Spice Girl types to look up to as role models. Although we’ve made quite a few breakthroughs in the industry (ie; Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Sandra Oh, etc,) not one single Asian American recording artist has paved a way for Asians to gain recognition in pop music, as of yet. I think we’ve come a long way, but still have far to go. As musicians up their public reach with the aid of technology, independent or major label distribution, I think the likelihood of an Asian singing star is solid! All we need is one successful example, and from that, the record companies will follow like sheep and hopefully start a new, long-overdue trend.

Reichen Lehmkuhl Interview with De Novo Magazine

Visit www.DeNovoMagazine.com to read our interview with superstar Reichen Lehmkuhl.
Interview Clip:

Moreno: I have read so many thank you notes and messages from your fans and readers who have found your book so inspiring. What has been your reaction to the book’s success?

Lehmkuhl: I’m glad that the book has had such success mostly because it’s opened so many minds to what our U.S. Armed Forces really does to our LGBT&Q service members and to the U.S. Taxpayer when they put people in our community through court martial proceedings and, ultimately, ruin their lives, careers, and years of hard work and dedication. I won’t stop speaking up about these issues until “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” has been abolished. Once it has been overturned, I will start fighting to have our LGBT&Q service members who were affected by the past policy monetarily compensated by our government for the human rights abuse they underwent under the atrocious policies that hurt them under “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” and the ongoing ban on gay people in the U.S. Armed Forces.
