Being in the Philippines limits one's exposure to different types of music and artists if you just rely on mainstream radio and local TV channels. Thankfully we have several stations who try to shake up the radio airwaves by playing non-mainstream music as well as cable TV. And, of course, there's the internet. I've discovered so many new (to me) artists by just scrounging around the internet - specifically YouTube.
A few weeks ago my sister introduced me to Karmin. She showed me their cover of "Super Bass" by Nicki Minaj on YouTube and I was pretty much hooked.
