Desires
 
 

Bochan is passionately sowing the seeds of a new style of diva.  Born in Cambodia and raised in Oakland, her exposure to various genres and cultures has led her to bridge tradition and innovation.   Her collaboration with pianist and producer Arlen Hart has created music that is powerful, soulful and moving (in every sense of the word, just ask the DJ's who are spinning her tracks around the world). Bochan grew up traveling around the US, singing for her father's Cambodian rock bands.  That journey is alive today in the music, which has moved from rock roots to its current inception. Stepping out from the traditional style, Bochan looks to enter a new musical age.

Her first single and video, “Desires” showed a committed audience that her music is able to reach the pop realm while maintaining artistic integrity.  Her current release “Chnam Oun 16” featuring emcee Raashan Ahmad of the Crown City Rockers, is a remake of a Cambodian rock anthem.  The new arrangement of the song retains some textures and tones of the original Farfisa organ sounds, while the lyrics are alternately sung in Khmer (Cambodian), and English.  The “16” package boasts remixes by Runaway, Lemonade, Narcisse, Jali, Hamacide, Warren Babson and Josh Pillbox, and another original titled “The Music”.
