Band Members: After receiving several requests, I've decided to crawl out from my tropical rainforest, enter the 21st century, and finally start a myspace page. So here you go. My name is Paul "PK" Kim. And when I'm not swinging from vines in the jungle, or swimming with dolphins, I'm making music. Soul music is my lifeforce. I literally get physically ill if I don't get my daily dose of Soul. I started out back in 98 when I joined a Bay Area based harmony group, as a junior in high school. And since then it's been a bumpy but exciting ride. I was told over and over again by countless label execs that if it weren't for me being Asian, I would've been signed yesterday. Unfortunately we live in a country where many think an Asian face is not marketable. I was signed to EMI Korea back in 2003, but unfortunately it didn't work out. But it was a wonderful experience that showed me my roots and allowed me the opportunity to travel the world on my neverending search for the perfect rainforest, and the most pristine, white sand beach. So after a year back home working full time as a swimming pool cleaner, I've gotten the itch to make music again. So I'm back! And this time I've decided to give it one more shot at making it here in the states. I'm hoping 2007 is a good year for me. Remember, real, good music is colorblind. I'm here to prove that music is heard, not seen. It doesn't matter if you're white, black, brown, yellow, or even purple for that matter. Just close your eyes and listen. So please shower me with your love and support. Those of you that urged me to continue pursuing my dream are the reason I'm still writing, recording, and producing, and the reason this site was made. Comments are always welcome, and feel free to add any of my music to your own personal sites. Thanks again, PK
