03Interview

Name, where are you from?
HOHO. Taipei, Taiwan.

What do you do?
I freelance in illustrations, animations, modeling (print media), and acting.

What’s the best gig you’ve ever been to?
The Magdalene Tour concert performance by FKA twigs, on November 25, 2019, at O2 Academy, Brixton.

Which subcultures have influenced you?
Illustration and tattoo art in Taipei and London.

Of all the venues you’ve played, which is your favourite?
An exhibition space located on #53, Wenchang Street. A venue where I had an animation exhibition.

If you could be on the line up with any bands in history?
As an actress, I’d love to work with different film directors from Taiwan. For art, I’d like to work alongside my friends Huang Yu-Ting and Wei Tzu-Yun, who are also art enthusiasts. My ultimate goal is to work with Massaki Yuasa, a Japanese animator, screenwriter, and film director.

If you could spend an hour with anyone from history?
I’d love to go on space travel with Rick from 'Rick and Morty', or just stay at BoJack’s house from 'BoJack Horseman' doing nothing, just chatting.

Your greatest unsung hero or heroine in music?
Everyone involved in music, from creators, song arrangers, sound mixers, to performers.

04Playlist Notes

The first track you played on repeat?
'Nikes' by Frank Ocean. His music is like a story or a concept composed of fragments or objects. I really appreciate this style.

A song that defines the teenage you?
'My Future' by Billie Eillish. This is the song I’d love to dedicate to my past self. The message is “focus on yourself and love yourself”.

One record you would keep forever?
'Blonde' by Frank Ocean. This music kept me company for countless sleepless nights.

A song lyric that has inspired you?
'DHL' by Frank Ocean, and ‘Waiting for Buddha’ by Soft Lipa. These songs are novel and fresh in their music and lyrics.

Best song to turn up loud?
'Good News' by Mac Miller.
'7 Rings' by Ariana Grande.
'Mount Hehuan' by Cloudriver.
'Room' by Soft Lipa.

A song people wouldn’t expect you to like?
'Virus 2020' by PiNkChAiN. This is a great song. I was never into this type of sound in the past, but once I heard it at a friend’s house, I couldn’t help but listened to it many times afterwards.

New bands you are listening to now?
Osean, Yellow, 9m88, Linion, The Crane, Lumi Xu, Sunset Rollercoaster, Layton Wu, Leah Dou, Kid Fresino, Jonah Yano, Deca Joins, Smino, Wonstein, Chika, Jerry Li, Billie Eillish, Brockhampton, Niki... there are too many to name!
