His music? He describes it as "a lita bita of dis and a lita suma dat witta bita lita dis ena hinta bita dat" (aka. pop/folk). Don't wince, that's just how the kids spell these days. Now, who's music? David Choi, a 23-year-old L.A.-based singer/songwriter/producer, known mostly for his performances on YouTube and MySpace. Don't knock it, Choi's got 3.8 million Youtube channel views, with more than 117,800 subscribers -- he's even beaten Miley Cyrus' numbers.
But there's more going on than that. In 2004, Choi was the grand prize winner for David Bowie's Mashup contest which Bowie himself chose. Following that, he was the grand prize winner for USA Weekend Magazine's John Lennon Songwriting Contest for teens, and appeared in USA Weekend Magazine with recording artist Usher. After getting accepted into a very selective ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers) workshop, it led him to sign with Warner Chappell Publishing as a staff songwriter/producer as of April, 2006 for two years. Whew!
His album Only You is available in ALL digital outlets (found on his MySpace), as well as on his MySpace where you can order a copy. And for those Canadians out there, vote here to have David Choi and Kina Grannis perform in Canada.
