A singer who has wide spectrum from characteristic music to soft ballad, Call Lee
At first, I really want to succeed in Neosoul, Trip-hop and PBR&B. Later, I am going to try acoustic ballad. The reason is, originally, I listened to only strong and characteristic music, but as I listened to music, I noticed that my taste has been changed to popular and soft ballad. Those are comfortable for listening, so, nowadays, I practice acoustic ballad.
PROFILE
Sohyun Lee
Q. Hi! Could you briefly introduce yourself?
Hi. I am a R&B vocalist Call Lee who looks like Border Collie.
Q. What made you start music?
It is a long story. Actually a game made me start music. (lol) When I was a high school student, I was a dancer. It was the start. Later, I had prepared to make a debut as a girl group for two years in a dormitory of my management agency, but, it was too hard and stressful. Therefore, I took a break for a while. During the break, I met Slez and he asked me ¡®How about doing music?¡¯ Therefore, with the nickname, called ¡®Gongcha¡¯, I recorded three songs and couldn¡¯t forget the pleasure of the singing moment. I hesitated for two month about quitting my agency and quit. And I became a member of Elly Gang crew with a name of Call Lee.
Q, So what artists have influenced on you the most?
VVD crew! Especially Zion.T and Crush. When I was hesitating about quitting my agency, I listened their music frequently. Their unique sentiment and tone attracted me.:) At that moment, I heard that my vocal style wasn¡¯t unique several times, So I was incited by them more.
Q. What musical color do you pursue?
At first, I really want to succeed in Neosoul, Trip-hop and PBR&B. Later, I am going to try acoustic ballad. The reason is originally I listened to only strong and characteristic music, but as I listened to music, I noticed that I changed my taste to popular and soft ballad. Those are comfortable for listening, so, nowadays, I practice acoustic ballad.
Q. What is the song that you did your best and felt attachment?
I cherish the 5th track, Lonely, of my mixtape, Opal. I guess I feel attachment the most because I wrote the song when I was having hard time. I needed lots of money, at that time, because of Studio¡¯s monthly rent, instruments and so on, I overworked a lot even at dawn so I was lonely and hard. Through ¡°Lonely¡± I expressed my desire to take a rest and hang around with friends.
Q. As you have a career as a singer, when was the best moment and worst moment?
The hardest time for me was after quitting my management agency. At that time, I didn¡¯t know what to do. At first, I told my parents I would do Black Music and they said ¡°Only scumbags do that kind of music. Get out of my house!¡±
Q. What songs are in your playlist? Do you have any songs that you recommend to us?
There is a group called The Internet and Syd Tha Kyd, the only woman of Oddfuture, is a member of the group. The Internet¡¯s Third album, Ego Death, is my favorite. ¡°Gabby featuring by Janelle Manae¡± is also good, and ¡°Girl¡± is a good track for feeling attractive neosoul. And there is one more album I have listened to so far since I had hard time. The first track of Crucial Star¡¯s ¡°Midnight¡± In the album there is a track featuring by Taylor called Midnight. The lyrics, melody and vocal is fantastic! Most of artist would sympathize when they work at night. And the second track ¡°Exit¡± is also sentimental. You must listen to it. This song proves that Crucial Star is the no.1 in sentimental Hip-hop. The tenth track Owl¡¯s rap beat is also incredible. I highly recommend this song!!
Q. You have been broadcasting on Afreeca TV, which is Korean online broadcasting platform. Do you have any reason?
At first, I started it to publicize myself, because at that time I was casted on YettieTV which is an entertainment program by Afreeca TV and KBS. However, broadcasting on Afreeca has become my tonic, so I am enjoying it. My broadcasting hasn¡¯t been popular, yet. However, I am very satisfied with the fact that I can communicate with my fans and present my songs! I recover when broadcasting even though I am tired. It is weird. (lol)
Q. What is your future plan?
This semester I go back to school, I wish to graduate without any misadventure. (lol) As I broadcast steadily, I want to show nice musical contents!
Q. Give the last comments for your fans who is reading this interview.
