What makes South Border unique in the Asian market is the relatively “western” feel to their music. Unlike their contemporaries, South Border’s music has its roots in a lot of American R & B influences. This unique quality of South Border has often led to many people considering them as the first Asian artist with real international potential. 　　 　　As songwriters, the band has had more than their share of commercial success. As performers however, the band is simply one of the best live performers around. Numerous international tours both in the Asia Pacific region and in the US have honed the band’s abilities to perform to an international audience.
