| PAUL JISUNG KIM | |

What sets his music and live performances apart from other artists are his vocal abilities: beatboxing, harmonies, and lyrics. He gives new meaning to the term: "one-man-band". His unique sound (which draws influence from artists such as Matisyahu, Coldplay, and Jason Mraz) and message, have captivated audiences throughout the country. He is no stranger to Kollaboration: he won in 2001, showcased at 2005 All-Stars, and beatboxed with PK in the infamous “DJ Ahjushi” video. Paul is currently working on an EP entitled “Run / Fly / Fall”, which will be available on iTunes, March '10. Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-Mx-w2L7os Website: http://www.pjkmusic.com |
