ROCK OF ASIAN: PumaShock

By Diana Nguyen & Jennifer Wang, Originally posted on Disgrasian

Through their elaborate sources, the girls from Disgrasian, Diana Nguyen and Jennifer Wang, discovered an amazing (and very unique) vocal artist. Meet PumaShock (aka Natalie White). She is a black American based in San Francisco who, over the years, had become enamoured with Korean dramas, K-Pop and...video games too?! Yes, Natalie White takes interest in many things and she is also incredibly talented - particularly at singing. White sings Korean songs in Korean and posts her videos online. She has become a sensation on youtube and is now invading the Korean entertainment industry. Read on!

Our friend Joyce recently introduced us to the vocal stylings of her girl, PumaShock (aka Natalie White), and we're becoming a bit obsessed.

Cuz here's the thing. Ms. White has got a voice like butter, million-dollar smile, freaking gorgeous face, swimsuit model body, longstanding devotion to video games (photo above is an homage--can you place it?), deeeeeep affinity for Korean dramas and K-pop... and seems like an all-around, super fun, super nice chick. Are all of these sweet-ass qualities together in one pretty package a common find? Hell no. Is PumaShock, then basically DISGRASIAN's wet dream? Oh, yes.

Witness, for instance, this near-perfect interpretation of the Wonder Girls "Nobody" (Like, WOW):

And if you think that accent is just a fluke, check out her synthed up interpretasian of Lee Hyori's "U Go Girl" (Also, like, WOW):

There's something about her silky, smooth delivery, cheeky winks, and sweet, inviting smile that is ever-so seductive and, well, surprisingly perfect. Sometimes, it's damn nice to be shocked.
