Biography

Park Hye Jin was born in South Korea. After living in Melbourne and London, she moved to Los Angeles, California. She began experimenting with rapping and singing circa 2015, and began learning to DJ circa 2017. She taught herself to produce music on Ableton.

In 2018, she released her debut EP, If U Want It. In 2020, she released the follow-up EP, How Can I, on Ninja Tune. Her debut studio album, Before I Die, was released on Ninja Tune in 2021.

Musical style and influences

Park Hye Jin's music has been sometimes described as "K-house". However, in a 2020 interview, she stated that she does not want to be limited to that. Jade Gomez of Paste wrote, "The Korean multi-hyphenate is not content with sticking to one genre, instead building her own universe full of influences ranging from hip-hop to house."

She grew up listening to pop music, as well as old Korean music such as Yoo Jae-ha, Lee Sun-hee, and Cho Yong-pil. When she was young, she also listened to Korean underground hip hop. She cited the Korean rapper Beenzino as one of her major influences. The music of Disclosure, Mura Masa, and Jamie xx influenced her into participating in the house music scene. In a 2019 interview, she said, "On top of house music, my scope of genres ranges from pop, hip-hop to even old K-pop."
