New York, NY, November 15, 2014 — SIVA GROUP is proud to present the third installment of Asian Music Festival featuring K-pop and K-hip-hop sensations from AOMG: Jay Park, SIMON Dominic, Loco, GRAY, and DJ Pumkin. This groundbreaking concert will take place tonight, November 15, 7:00PM-10:00PM, at Stage 48, NYC. Doors open at 6:00PM. Last Call General Admission and VIP tickets are still available on Asian Music Festival’s website, at http://www.aomgtour.com/nyc, or at Stage 48’s box office.
AOMG is an independent Korean agency and label led by Korean pop sensation Jay Park and Korean rapper and hip-hop artist SIMON Dominic. AOMG, which stands for “Above Ordinary Music Group,” is regarded as a label that stands apart from the “idol factory” of Korea by demonstrating a commitment to producing talented R&B and hip hop artists.
Founder and Co-CEO Jay Park was formerly the leader of Korean idol group 2PM from 2008-2010 before breaking out with his solo career. He has captured attention on both sides of the Pacific for his talent and refreshing genuineness. His partner and Co-CEO SIMON Dominic is a talented rapper and hip-hop artist, formerly of award-winning duo “Supreme Team.” Jay Park and SIMON Dominic will be appearing alongside AOMG acts Loco, GRAY, and DJ Pumkin.
“We’re expecting a great turn-out for AOMG, which is pretty impressive, considering the amount of Korean concerts in town,” said Steve Hyun, CEO of SIVA GROUP.
While the New York City metro area normally sees an average of one concert from Korea per month, November 2014 has shaped up to be an unprecedented month, with five major shows taking place within a three-week period. AOMG faced stiff competition this week, with Korean idol group 2PM and veteran Korean pop star, Kim Tae Woo staging shows earlier in the week.
AOMG’s concert will take place at Stage 48, a concert and nightlife venue located at 605 W 48th Street, New York, NY. Last Call GA and VIP tickets for the event may be purchased online via www.aomgtour.com/nyc, or at Stage 48’s box office.
