Koo Chung
|
At only 28, Koo Chung's rather long list of achievements
is growing by the year. Without selling out, or even selling
colossal, the singer-songwriter-producer from New York City
has already been highlighted as one of Christianity Today's
"Ten Independent Artists You Should Know." During
his seven years as a professional in the music industry,
Koo has opened for the likes of former Caedmon's Call frontman
Derek Webb, southern crooner Bebo Norman, and the dynamic
acoustic duo Shane and Shane, along with many others. His
first full-length solo album, Commas Come First, was littered
with talent, featuring appearances by Matt Slocum of Sixpence
None the Richer, Andrew Peterson and Gabe Scott, and several
members of Jars of Clay.
Those unfamiliar with Koo's music will find it to be straight
up acoustic rock, with some smatterings of blues and pop
mixed in. His lyrics are heartfelt and poetic, and resonate
with the emotion of a twenty-something struggling to find
love, life, and faith amid the clutter of the everyday.
Although he will admit that he draws a lot of Asian-American
fans, as he himself is Korean-American, anyone can relate
to Koo's perceptive and genuine lyrics and the easy, listenable
style of his music.
