The Deep - Here I Am (promotional picture)

“So This Is How You Make Music” — An Interview with The Deep

One of the more surprising albums in 2020 came from a young woman with a voice like aged whiskey. Yoojin Park, known more commonly by her stage name The Deep, has a voice that just catches you off guard. Unapologetically husky and full of old-school emotion. With her debut EP, Escape, fans of R&B from Korea were gifted something truly unique. A singer with true vocal grit. The Deep took some time to answer a few questions for us.

Yoonha Verse

“I Bring Myself”: An Exclusive Interview with Yoonha Verse

The one true thing in life is that you never know what’s going to happen. You can have a plan for yourself. Follow all the rules to get there. But life inevitably will take you where it wants. This truth rings with loud clarity for up-and-coming R&B songstress Yoonha Verse. She took some time to take us on her journey from shy music lover to confident vocalist.

Dream Chasing Crew

Dream Chasing: “More Than the Money and the Fame”

One of life’s greatest joys, and also it’s rarest, is to discover something at its root. To stumble upon the humble origins of something great. Finding artists right at the dawn of their careers is even more of a blessing. I relish the occasions when I get those emails from artists hoping to find an outlet that will give them a chance. Such was the case with DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia)-area hip-hop crew Dream Chasing.

DAMYE

“Go For It!” An In-Depth Interview with DAMYE

As you all know by now, I have an immense respect for Samuel Seo as an artist. So it shouldn’t surprise anyone that when it comes to music recommendations, I take what he says seriously. Such was the case when he suggested multi-genre artist DAMYE during our chat. Listening to DAMYE’s music, then getting to know him, I was really ecstatic to have the chance to talk to him.

“People Don’t Have One Emotion”: An Interview with R&B Singer Syn

Every interview I do with artists I’m surprised just how introspective they are. You’d have to be to even attempt to survive in an industry as brutal as music tends to be. R&B newcomer Syn is incredibly self-aware. But she’s also unassuming. Her youth makes her both ambitious and thirsty for more. More knowledge, more experience. More music. She took some time to answer some questions for us. The answers were incredibly enlightening.
