James Ivy, Korean-American singer/songwriter/producer from New Jersey, began his project in high school. Inspired by the rise of PC Music as a collective, and the innovation brought on by SOPHIE and A. G. Cook, James spent his free time teaching himself the ins and outs of home production. From there, he found an online global community of like-minded fans and producers. “We had this little scene headed by Simon Whybray, who had a radio show called JACK Dansu.” By 15, he had played his first show at the infamous Manhattan venue China Chalet, followed by gigs in Los Angeles and at South by Southwest.
