As SYN's resident Asian music and culture show we thought it would be very fitting this week to delve into some of our divisive opinions about recent kpop albums including New Jeans and Itzy. Languages can often be the gateway into many different cultures so we will also be speaking about the trails and tribulations of learning them. 

PS tune in till the end for our whacky segment of the week 👀

APN Season 3 Episode 6 (15/08/23)

L!FE is a Melbourne-based Filipino songwriter and producer, whose music combines hip-hop, rock and pop styles, with honest lyrics about, well, life! All its highs, all its lows and what it is like to be a human and alive.

A week prior, APN attended L!FE's release party for his new EP 'I'm a Human Being' and fell in love with his energetic hip-hop beats you couldn't resist head bopping to, and infectious stage presence. We were so grateful to be able to talk to him live in the studio and hear him perform his song 'Show Me What You Got' (which he definitely did!).
