Kwaca | Sound Stories

I met Kwaca two days before this was recorded. He sat down, we just became good friends immediately.Kwaca is a Korean singer-songwriter, producer, and guitarist based in Seoul. He's the kind of person who writes music the way other people journal, to feel things and then get over them. He's also the chief producer behind Gemini, one of the most exciting voices in K-R&B right now, and he's currently working on his own solo project.We talked about growing up between Korea and the Philippines, what it actually sounds like when a Third Culture Kid makes music, why his dating checklist keeps getting longer (and why that's a sign of growth, not pickiness), and the very Asian experience of loving your parents while waiting for them to say it back out loud.Also: Shanghai is punk and funk. He said it. I stand by it.If you're not already listening to Gemini, fix that first. Then come back here.
