We're continuing the Asian Pacific American Heritage Month this week with Paul Anka.
Paul Anka (age 77) was born in Ottawa, Canada to Syrian father and Lebanese mother.

He recorded his first single at the age of 14, but it wasn’t until he recorded the song “Diana,” where he skyrocketed to stardom being No.1 on Canadian and US charts. In 1990, Anka became a naturalized US, the same decade he had a comeback with his album A Body of Work.

Along with his many startups, Yang’s accomplishments caught the eye of the White House during the Obama administration. He was labeled a “Champion of Change” and a “Presidential Ambassador for Global Entrepreneurship” from the White House in 2012 and 2015 respectively.
