1. How was your group formed? Or how did you get into the business?
Cardin auditioned at Asia Entertainment, one of the 2 large Vietnamese Music production companies in Southern California.

After a few trials and auditions, James, the last member joined the group.
2. What are your ultimate goals and/or dreams?
Our goal is to express ourselves musically whether in the Vietnamse market or the Asian American market in general. We want all Asians to know and respect who we are as Asia4. But our ultimate goal would be to go International and appear on Asia’s MTV and radio stations.
3. What advice do you have for other upcoming artists?
Be humble and always try your best to be everything you can be. Luck comes to those prepared so always practice your craft.
4. Who are your biggest influences? (Musical and/or non-musical)
We would say our family is our biggest influences. Without their love and support for our dreams we wouldn’t have followed our dreams. Musically speaking, it would have to be Michael Jackson, Babyface, Max Martin, etc…

Just being on stage performing and hearing the fans admirations for you.
6. What are some of the biggest challenges that you have faced?
