In the first of our ARTIST SERIES, SOUNDBOX partnered with Jane Kim to create the ultimate chill collection. Learn more about Jane as she answers the 6 questions on our mind this week.
SOUNDBOX first met Jane Kim (aka DJ Snacks) perched behind the decks in the window of some long-forgotten store opening, laying down an unforgettable happy-house-meets-disco soundtrack. Half a decade later, and Jane’s running her own music agency, shepherding the careers of artists like Emma Oliver, Ish D and Audrey Nuna, buying talent for music festivals, clubs and branded events, & discovering new talent as an A&R for SMG Ent. Oh, and she still somehow finds time to DJ, building sonic landscapes for Christian Dior and Ralph Lauren events.
We want to know more! Tell us, Jane:
1. Why "DJ Snacks?"
Snacks make me happy. Good music can do the same. And I’d like to think the vibes i provide are mm mm good.
2. What is the first album you owned (and what format)?
Cassette Tape album of a Korean R&B artist by the name of Kim Gun Mo. I was 7 years old living in Seoul then!
3. What was your best vinyl score to date (and from where)?
Earth, Wind & Fire Greatest Hits at a garage sale!!
4. Your favorite guilty-pleasure track?
John Mayer - Stop This Train
5. Your ride-or-die described in three words?
Warm, Fuzzy, Meow
6. Picture it: your perfect Saturday. Tell us about it.
Sleeping in 'til 10 am. Make myself a great cup of coffee. Make eggs and pancakes at home while listening to the stellar soundtrack of Cowboy Bebop on vinyl. Watch a movie on my couch in the afternoon and then head out to dinner to meet some friends for some noodles.
