Baiyu is representing New York as she appears on the CW Network’s new show “The Next”. Congratulations to our AsianInNY friend the beautiful and talented Baiyu!

The program highlights the hottest musical talents in six cities across the United States that are on the verge of stardom. These local and national artists are all celebrities in their own right, but may just need that extra push to make it to the top. With the help of mentor Nelly, watch as Baiyu takes to the stage after 72 hours of intense preparation, and puts on the performance of a lifetime.

Executive-produced by Queen Latifah, “The Next” features Joe Jonas, Nelly, Gloria Estefan, and John Rich as musical mentors to up-and-coming musicians. Each celebrity mentor will guide the contestants by immersing themselves in the contenders’ lives. They go to work with them and socialize with them, all the while preparing them for their big performance. One winner will be chosen in each city and move on to the next round until ultimately, one performer remains and wins a recording contract with Atlantic Records. The show premieres on August 16th.
