Artist Spotlight: pH-1
In the vibrant landscape of Korean hip-hop, pH-1 stands out as a luminary, weaving together melodic rap stylings and introspective lyricism. Rising from the crucible of reality TV on Show Me The Money 777, his journey began long before the spotlight, rooted in the halls of Boston College where he pursued studies in Biology. Yet, it was his own passion for music that beckoned him to forge a new path.
Born Park Jun-won, his artistic moniker, pH-1, reflects a fusion of identities—Harry Park from his American upbringing and Park Jun-won from his Korean heritage. This duality manifests in his music, where cultural borders blur, and sonic landscapes converge. His debut single "Wavy" marked the genesis of his musical odyssey, leading him back to South Korea at the invitation of Jay Park, where he found a home under the banner of H1GHR MUSIC.
Collaboration is at the heart of pH-1's artistic ethos, evident in his seamless partnerships with industry titans like Jay Park and rising stars like Kang Daniel and TXT. His music transcends genres, blending elements of hip-hop, pop, and R&B, creating a tapestry of sound that resonates with audiences worldwide.
As he continues to evolve as an artist, remains a beacon of innovation in the Korean music scene, challenging conventions and pushing boundaries with his soulful melodies and poignant verses. With every beat, he reminds us that music is more than just sound—it is a vessel for truth, a conduit for connection, and a testament to the human experience.
