03Interview

Introduce yourself
I am Goopy from Seoul and I am a singer.

Describe your style in three words?
Freedom. Multipicity. Positivity.

What inspires your work?
The weather, my mood, experiences and imagination. I always imagine something fun whenever I see things around me.

Where is your favourite Independent venue in Seoul?
Soap, Henz.

Which subcultures have influenced you?
People around me say tattoos are mainstream now. So it is a bit strange to say it’s a subculture. But I would like to say it’s tattoo. I learnt how to express myself through tattoo and this influenced the way I write lyrics.

What’s the best gig you’ve ever been to?
Daniel Caesar’s live performance. He’s one of my favourite artists. Before he started, he burnt incense and walked around the stage. It was like he was making a ritual for his performance.

If you could spend an hour with anyone from history?
Chet Baker. I would love to listen to his trumpet live.

Your greatest unsung hero or heroine in music?
Frank Ocean. I know He is a world famous artist already. But He is my number one singer.

04Playlist Notes

One record you would keep forever?
'6 Feet Beneath The Moon' by King Krule.

A song lyric that has inspired you?
'Stop This Train' by John Mayer.

Best song to turn up loud?
'Sex' by The 1975. If you play this song as loud as you can, you will get excited.

A song to get you straight on the dance floor?
'Body Moves' by DNCE. It makes you feel the rhythm.

Best song to end an all-nighter?
'Hell N Back' by Bakar. When you listen to this song all night long, it feels great.

Any new bands you’re into at the moment?
Max Frost. His song called 'Back In The Summer' is great. Synthesizer bass and drum sounds are very attractive.

Best song to bring people together?
'Happy' by Pharrell Williams. Almost everyone knows this song. Everyone will get excited when someone plays this song.

The greatest love song of all time?
'Sweet' by Cigarettes After Sex, 'Pink + White' by Frank Ocean.

A song people wouldn’t expect you to like?
'Come Away With Me' by Norah Jones. I used to play this song whenever I tried to get to sleep.
