What a dope way to start Filipino American History Month! Miss Texas representative R'Bonney Gabriel was crowned Miss USA 2022 last night (Oct. 3) at the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno, NV. The 28-year-old trailblazer is the latest Filipino American titleholder to win the pageant and represent the USA in the annual Miss Universe extraordinaire.

"Oh my God, it's an honor," Gabriel shared with Houston Life. "I'm getting messages on Instagram and just social media of Filipina girls and women telling me they're so excited, they're so happy." "They're crying tears of joy because they are inspired to go after pageantry or something," the model added. "Like I'm paving the way for them to just go after whatever they want no matter what it is. So it's an honor."

Gabriel, who is a well-recognized fashion designer, drew inspiration from her parent's multi-cultural background when creating her Miss USA interview outfit. “I designed this to pay tribute to my parents,” she posted on Instagram. "My mom is from Beaumont, TX and my father is from the Philippines. They got married in Manila Philippines. I hand-painted the same flower design from my mother's wedding dress onto my sleeves and tied it in a traditional Maria Clara Filipina collar shape. I have immense gratitude for the opportunities [sic] my parents provided me and wanted to express my love to them through this.” Best of luck, R'Bonney Gabriel!

100 is the newest collaboration from Nieman and Jesse Barrera; this one has an undeniable groove that'll be sure to get you moving. With its tight guitar line that engulfs you from the start, an atmosphere of pure energy, coupled with its crispy vocal production, this song goes 0 to 100 real quick, pun intended. Their new groovy record will definitely set the vibe and mood, suggesting to take the night slow and enjoy the ride. While the world seems to move and operate quicker than ever before, Nieman and Jesse seem to live in a world all their own, where time stands still when with their significant other. So throw out your plans and let the night decide where it wants to go, there's no reason for us to go 100. 

This past year, Jesse Barrera has been on a roll with big collaborations and production credits, and he isn’t slowing down. This isn’t their first collaboration but definitely their grooviest. With growing love from Korea and the Philippines, the two are making the play for big international recognition.

About Nieman:

NIEMAN is an RnB/Pop singer-songwriter based out of Los Angeles County. With millions of streams, Nieman's music captures his unique blend of classic RnB storytelling with an Alt-Pop sound. 

His single, "Why Do I Still?", from his second E.P., "Palette," was featured in the top 10 on the Spotify U.S. Viral 50 Charts, making an appearance on Billboard.com. In 2018, he released, "Knots," a collaboration EP with his cousin, the Philippines' most streamed artist, Moira Dela Torre. Their title track continues to grow in numbers with over 11.4 million plays and won the Philippines' Awit Award for Best Collaboration. He kicked off this year with groovy new single, “100,” a collaboration with artist and producer, Jesse Barrera, marking the start of a new chapter.  

With a distinct brand both on the stage and off, this Filipino-American artist is making his own lane, challenging the genre on his own terms.

Larren Wong came down to our MYX Global Studios in Los Angeles and answered a few questions so we could get to know him better. Find out about his musical background, what it was like growing up bi-racial in the Bay Area of California, and if he speaks Tagalog in this Spotlight Interview.

About Larren Wong:

Larrenwong is a self-taught vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, producer, and songwriter from Union City, CA. The child of a Filipino immigrant mother and African-American father, Larren has a diverse, rich ethnic history. His grandfather, a big band jazz leader and flautist in the New York Philharmonic was an early musical role model for Larren, despite being hard to impress.

The now 24-year-old artist began playing the guitar at the age of 12 and has been actively working to elevate his craft ever since. Along the way, Larren learned how to play bass, piano, and the bassoon as well. After playing D1 football and obtaining a Masters of Science for Leadership in the Creative Enterprises at Northwestern University, Larren played linebacker for the Seattle Seahawks before deciding to leave athletics to pursue a full-time career as a musician.

Drawing heavily from sounds of the Bay Area as well as artists like Erykah Badu, J Dilla, and D’Angelo, Larrenwong fuses his range of influences and life experience into a worldly sound that is uniquely his own.
