Bochan Bochan

Bochan has dedicated her life to spearheading and continuing to sow the seeds of the Neo-Cambodian musical breakout movement. By collaborating with adept pianist and producer, Arlen Hart, Bochan effortlessly bridges the East West gap with an inimitable, soulful yet sweet indie-pop vibe. She authentically draws on her dual country upbringing; combining influences from the ultra urban Oakland scene, coupled with her deep rooted Cambodian inspiration and fellowship, to create her infectious new sound.
 
Bochan grew up singing in her father’s Cambodian American bands. The evolution that Bochan witnessed (and took an active part in) is audible today in the ardent Cambodian music circuit, which has moved from Rock Roots to its current inception. Honoring, yet stepping bravely away from traditional style, she attempts to usher in a new musical age.
 
In January of 2012 Bochan released her debut solo album titled “Full Monday Moon.” The 11 track LP album gives a new voice to contemporary Khmer identity and includes the single “Chnam Oun 16”. Bochan’s music has been featured on WYNC’s “Studio 360”, Voice of America, The Phnom Penh Post, MYX TV, among others.
 
Bochan is currently working on a new EP album scheduled for release later this year. Her music is available on iTunes.
