Who knew that a couple’s love for dressing up as their favorite characters would make them the faces of marketing campaigns of pop culture brands?

Awie and Prince de Guzman, fiances in real life, have been the top of mind for a number of entertainment brands whenever they would need to tap cosplayers to bring to life their characters. Among these successful campaigns were Warner Bros.’ Shazam!, Netflix’s Stranger Things, The Witcher and Trese – the latter becoming a marketing hit during the pandemic in 2021.

“We went viral and made a lot of noise in the media during that time,” Awie recalls when she cosplayed the main character Alexandra Trese for Netflix. “I felt a lot of pressure before deciding to cosplay her because the komiks have been around for many years and the Trese community is very protective of their fandom! I read the komiks so I can properly portray Trese, and I’m happy that the creators noticed my work too.”

Cambodian Music Superstar and Asian breakthrough artist, VannDa, makes his long awaited comeback with new album “SKULL 2 (SEASON 1)”

The album, which features focus track ”Young Man” with Thailand’s OG Bobby, is now available on DSP services. The 15 track album was released on YouTube last Sunday, July 3rd with translations in English and Thai.

Cambodian superstar VannDa returns with his sophomore album “SKULL 2 (Season 1)” showcasing his immense growth as an artist since his debut, $KULLTHEALBUM (2020). Coming off his meteoric rise in 2021 following hits “Time to Rise” featuring Master Kong Nay, “Catch Me If You Can”, and “Solo Again”, the Southeast Asian ‘King of Flows’ collaborates with fellow top-notch Cambodian producers to venture into multiple new genres while still delivering the heavy hip hop sound and sharp lyrical wit that made him famous across the world.

Bringing the focus track to the spotlight is “Young Man”, a certified head banger where VannDa and Thailand’s OG Bobby (Hypetrain) shine their skillful flows rapping about the journey of rising to the top. Defined by bouncy drums filled with negative space for the two rappers to flow in and out of, “Young Man” is a playful rebuke to haters that could be played on massive stages for dancing fans or as that perfect bop for a long car ride.
