12. APRIL NHEM, SINGER
Starting off The Khmerican’s Top 12 Must Watch of 2012 List is the youngest recipient, April Nhem. It was a tough call as we view dozens of new YouTube videos daily, but the 18-year-old made the biggest splash with her video performance to the cover song Little Bit by Lykke Li in December 2011.The CSU-Long Beach freshman has also appeared in tracks by Mario C and Kixxie Siete. Her angelic voice mixed with her youthful personality and charming beauty are the perfect ingredients for mainstream audience and the label of Khmer America’s youngest rising star.
