After the discovery of many Kpop groups, here are two Korean solo singers. Their style of music remains quite different from Kpop, the rhythms are not the same. To know a little more about their music, here is a small presentation of these two soloists.
Let's start with the first singer, Eric Nam:
Nam Yoon-do (남윤도), better known as Eric Nam , was born on November 17, 1988 in Atlanta. He is an American of Korean descent. In addition, he can speak English, Korean, Spanish and Chinese very well. Eric Nam made a name for himself on YouTube by doing covers, until a representative of JYP spotted him.
Eric Nam's career:
As we said before, he was spotted by a representative of JYP Entertainment, a well-known company in Korea. But it won't be the company that gets him started. Indeed, on September 25, 2012, he joined B2M as a solo artist, a company in which he will remain until 2015. Thanks to B2M, he managed to release his first mini album "Cloud 9". During this time, he will release many mini albums and will participate in collaborations such as for the single "Ooh Ooh" with Hoya of Infinite. In 2015, the singer signed an exclusive contract with CJ E&M. He will also start singing OST for dramas like "Sudden Rain" from the Korean series "Uncontrobally Fond". It is in 2017 that Eric Nam will sign again a contract with "Stone Music Entertainment". In 2018, he will release a single that was a hit, " Honestly"

The singer will release his first full album containing 8 tracks. In 2020, he will release his latest mini album named "The Other Side" on Stone Music Entertainment.
What happens in 2021 for the singer?
In 2021, Eric Nam leaves his publishing house to create his own label "The Eric Nam Company". He then released songs that he composed and produced himself. Recently, he released his first album on his label named "Then and Back Again" entirely in English. https://youtu.be/GHJyfokY5Dw Other tracks to listen to:

He is also a member of the AlphaDict team where he composes with members of his band and other artists. In addition, he composes songs for fairly well-known Kpop groups, such as Shinee.

Melodies mostly rock and pop. To top it off, there's an MV (music video) available for all of these songs. https://youtu.be/o99aQZ62nCQ Other Gaho songs to listen to:
Gaho and Eric Nam are incredible and very talented artists who deserve to be even better known than they already are. Both can please many people. Eric Nam with his rather pop, soft and funk style. And Gaho with a rather rock, powerful and pop sound. We highly recommend them! Here are other artists you can discover like brother AKMU's duo!
