Open Verse

Open Verse is a premier singing competition designed to amplify the voices of indie AAPI artists and celebrate the rich creativity within the Asian American and Pacific Islander community. By providing a platform for emerging talent to shine, Open Verse fosters cultural representation and creates life-changing opportunities for indie musicians.

The competition has garnered tremendous support, featuring an esteemed panel of celebrity judges, including Brian Lee, Madison Love, Verbal, representatives from Avex Entertainment, and Jeff Yoo of Empire Records. With such an accomplished roster, Open Verse promises to deliver expert feedback and unparalleled exposure to its contestants.

This year’s grand prize takes it to the next level, offering:

• $10,000 in cash,
• A distribution deal with Empire Records,
• Studio time at Avex Studio Compound in Los Angeles, and
• A chance to collaborate with hitmaker Brian Lee on a brand-new track.

Open Verse is more than a competition—it’s a celebration of the AAPI creative spirit, uniting fans, artists, and industry leaders to shape the future of music.

For the OPEN Verse event, we will be using OPEN SUPERAPP exclusively on ticketing. Sorry for the confusion.
