Everything changed when VannDa took the stage at the Paris Olympics. Seeing a Khmer artist perform on a global platform ignited a realization: Khmer music must evolve and be heard worldwide.
This mission is deeply personal. The music is not just for today – it’s for the next generation, for my child, who will grow up in a world where Khmer voices are no longer in the shadows.
Khmer Style is a movement to push Khmer music forward – to redefine our cultural sound for the future.
