So I went to KASCON (Korean-Am Student Conference) this past weekend, and realized how much korean-american talents there were that i didnt know of. so i thought it'd be a good idea to have like, a list/discussion to spread the word.

here's some i know:

Ken Oak Band:
Cello rock! check out their website at kenoakband.com
Really soothing kind of music. CD available for download at itunes, or buy on their site.

Susie Suh:
Many people know her already, she's got an album out from 2005, with EPIC.
Jazz-y guitar, kinda Fiona Apple/Norah Jones like? Amazing voice

Neah Lee:
Also amazing female singer. Similar to Susie Suh. REEEALLLYYY nice voice.
CD is out in stores, or if you can't find it, check online.

Forget the Girl:
Rock band, repping 4 asian countries, i think. the lead singer is korean. EP is out, full album coming soon.

Snacky Chan (Chan):
lotta people know him already
rapper/hip hop artist. amazing lyrics, beats, rhymes, ...
check out his CD!
he's a real cool, chillax kinda guy.

I have that Susie Suh CD, too bad i cant rip it because i heard that with every attempt, sony installs some sort of virus or something like that from what i read from amazon reviews.

She has an amazing voice and her lyrics are really profound in some songs.

Are any of the other bands/singers mentioned have their albums available to buy on sites such as amazon or bestbuy, etc?

Thanks

I found out how to rip it. All you have to do is let the software install. rip it from the program it installs to wma. make a cd, then rip it from that. the find thw patch that uninstalls the problemativ software and boom, you have it ripped. took me awhile to figure it out, but I did.


BTW, Susie Suh was my #1 album from 2005 period.

[YellohSwtTart]

^ Susie Suh is amazing. her music is just so... SOULFUL. i feel like im just looking into her heart with her songs. (okay, thats corny. but yeah)

[sovu22]

cool. thanks for those suggestions.

Mike Park

I like Mike Park. He's music is awesome!

[RACETRAITOR]

Yeah, Mike Park's lyrics are awesome. Take this for example:

screw this i'm leaving, i dont need a
racist friend, and i'm not like you, i'm
from Korea, my eyes are small, but your
eyes are closed

So he can't be racist because he's Korean. Koreans are not like ordinary people. Yes, thanks, Mike Park.

[G-Nitro]

so we should support them because they're korean? theres a lot of untapped talent in the world

I say support Susie Suh because she's extremely talented, not because she is korean/asian.

[moto]

Would Amerie be considered kroean american? altho shes half black? She can be korean-black-american

[happyroach]

KEN OAK!!!! <33333

I have the Half Step Down album only though :< but at least it's signed ;D~~~

[RACETRAITOR]

well asians generally dont considered mixes as of their 'own kind', blacks on the other hand will embrace basically anyone as their own kind (they arent picky and have no desire for 'purity')

You should see what it's like these days, with that Hines Ward dude who was in the Superbowl. It's been declared that being half-non-Korean is okay as long as you're superfamous.

[kahel]

among the artists above, i've only encountered ken oak band because of the cello factor. XD i love how unique their sound is. Analog Girl is my fave track among their songs.

and Susie Suh, I haven't heard anything from her yet but judging from your comments, it does seem that she's a must listen...thus, I must check her out.
