Bradford
Bradford is a rap artist and has a band called Dong Bei Lao Wai which means Norheastern Foreigner in Chinese. The band was formed in China. Bradford created a brand new genre of music by mixing hiphop rap with Chinese traditional folk music. Dong Bei Lao Wai's first song ever was Nanniwan.
Nanniwan was performed in front of 10 million people on Liaoning Province TV station on the day of the Chinese New Year.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Dong Bei Lao Wai has been around for maybe 3 months and we already have major stardom in China. Nobody is spending money on new artists in the US, so we are pretty happy that we spent our time in China promoting ourselves, the internet allows us to reach our fans in America.

Yes, on TV and we had a special performance for the New Year Festival in China on the Lioaning TV station recently, we have posted video on several websites such as myspace.com/bradford and http://www.angelfire.com/ill/bradford/dongbeilaowai/
