Saweetieīorn to a Filipino-Chinese mother, Saweetie, whose real name is Diamonte Quiava Valentin Harper, started her music career on social media with a rap cover over the explicit song “My Neck, My Back (Lick It)” by Khia. Rodrigo, whose Filipino heritage hails from her father’s side, started out as a Disney star in a High School Music spin-off, but it’s clear she’s making her own way in the music industry, and there’s already Grammy predictions to boot. This up-and-coming pop star is only 18, but her singles “Driver’s License,” “Deja Vu,” and “Good 4 U” have already charted globally, and her debut album Sour was met with critical acclaim. So here are the young Filipino-American musicians bringing their talent to international music charts. And the established Fil-Am musicians like Bruno Mars, Nicole Scherzinger, and Cassie. We’ve heard all about the Filipino-Americans in Hollywood, from Lou Diamond Philips to Dave Bautista. We love a good success stories, especially if it involves second- or third-generation Filipino-American immigrants making waves in the music industry.
