Performer Spotlight: RUA YOUNG One of the standout performances at ASUPROX 2026 came from ASU Popular Music alumni RUA YOUNG, whose career continues to grow far beyond Arizona. Now emerging as an up-and-coming Korean Christian rap artist, he brought a unique perspective, strong stage presence, and undeniable energy to the conference stage. Seeing ASU Pop alumni return to perform while building careers of their own is always a special reminder of what this community can grow into. #ASUPROX2026 #ASUPopMusic #MusicIndustry #PhoenixMusic #ASU ruayoung
