Yoon Mi Rae

Изучайте фортепианные ноты Yoon Mi Rae в Zen Virtual Piano. Yoon Mi Rae, also known as Tasha or T, was born in 1981 in the US, and Soompi says her father was an African-American US military officer stationed in Korea and her mother is Korean. Moinnet says she came to Korea at the age of nine, and that she opens up about growing up with prejudice in the song Black Happiness (검은 행복). A birth in the US and a move to Korea at nine, set beside a song about prejudice, can be read as a personal background that her music draws on. In 1997, at the age of 16, she debuted in the K-pop world as a member of Uptown, and in 2000 she restarted her singing career as a member of the female duo Tashannie. She debuted as a solo singer in 2001 and released her second solo album in 2002, before a long hiatus because of problems with her management agency, and her third album in 2007 had the title song Did You Forget, which became a top-five hit. JoongAng Daily says that she was one of the first female artists in Korea to show that women can make hip-hop, working as both rapper and singer and releasing songs in a number of genres. A career that began in a group, moved through a duo and then went solo suggests an artist who kept finding her own voice by changing the setting. A 2015 interview at drunkentigerintl.com describes her and her husband Tiger JK as working together regularly, and with the label mate and rapper Bizzy they created the group MFBTY and their own label, Feel Ghood Music. In that interview she said that there is censorship in Korea even though it is a democracy, and that there are a lot of things rappers can’t say, though the censors are more lenient when a pop star says it. Soompi names Yoon Mi Rae as the first singer for the Descendants of the Sun OST, with Always, a ballad with pop elements. A rapper who explains how pop stars can say what rappers cannot suggests an artist who thinks carefully about where her words will be heard, and who works inside that system. Yoon returned with the hip-hop album Gemini 2 on 5 July, which JoongAng Daily describes as her first full-length album in 16 years and a continuation of her 2002 album Gemini. She told JoongAng Ilbo, “I wanted to show all of my true self,” and said she hoped to lay bare her reality instead of packaging it to look like something else. Asked what hip-hop means to her, she answered, “I feel the happiest and most comfortable when I rap on stage.” A return framed as an honest self-portrait, beside her saying she feels happiest rapping on stage, can be read as an album built around her own account of herself.
