Star2 is a San Diego based Asian-American artist exploring the intersections of hip-hop and pop with his multi-genre portfolio. Star2's new single "Just Like Them Waterfalls" is written about a magnetic romance that transpires over an alluring tropical escape.
"Just Like Them Waterfalls" is overflowing with harmonious flurries of strings, hypnotic notes of percussion, and an invitingly warm vocal from Star2 that will leave you in an island daze. Over immersive atmospheric sonics that resemble an entrancing rainforest, Star2 reminisces on an undeniable attraction. He sings, "Got me feeling lost in this place / Hoping you can show me the way / The way to your heart today." In the accompanying music video, Star2 is captured with his romantic counterpart as they wander through majestic palazzos. The journey captures the elegance of tropical life and budding romance, concluding with the pair finding themselves at the edge of an idyllic waterfall, where they take a leap into serene waters, a perfect embodiment of island magic.
Star2's journey to the US is a testament to both fortune and resilience. Upon arriving in San Diego by lottery, his past was scarred by hardship, having endured the devastation of his home village and the trials of life within a Thai refugee camp. His music and story are reflections of survival and the relentless pursuit of his dream. Over the past few years, he has worked with artists including Soulja Boy, $tupid Young, Mozzy, MBNel, Luh Kel, Lil Poppa, HoodTrophy Bino, YSN Flow, and MarMar Oso to name a few.
