“I tried many times to get my record into the labelmusic recording company”
“I am not that handsome to be a singer”
“There’s no chance for me to be a superstar”
“I am not that handsome to be a singer”
“There’s no chance for me to be a superstar”
We never heard that from "David Choi".
He is an independent artist that currently has more than 900,000 YouTube subscribers and more than a million video viewers. He produced and released 69 songs to download in iTune. In October 2011, his latest album “Forever and Ever” ran up to #2 on iTune chart under singer/songwriter category. His music now has been played on major channels like FOX, NBC, ABC, MTV and the Disney Channel.
Check out this YouTube Channel and you will see how good he is! Once I first listened to his songs, my attitude in “Independent music artist” was transformed from impossible to POSSIBLE!
His music style is easy listening with acoustic guitar, ukulele and pop catchy lyrics. If you are a girl, I can say that it’s not hard to fall in love with this guy just right after listening to his song. His first album “Only You” was released in 2008, with acoustic pop style. I first accidental listened to his song in YouTube while I was looking for my friend’s channel. With catchy lyrics and cute melodies, I spent my whole night searching for his songs and decided to be his fan finally. His second album,“By My Side,” was released in 2010 with hit single “By My Side” my favorite one. His third album, “Forever and ever,” was released in October 2011.

He was great as aconcertmaster of his school orchestra. He never heard pop song until he listened to "All Star" by "Smash Mount" then he came across to pop music by stopped taking violin class and began taking Jazz Piano instead. He entered to one pop music award and he won his first award.
He started to use social media to spread his music by posting his covered clip to YouTube. He said in the interview by Musician Coaching that he first posted a YouTube video just for fun and started to write song and kept posting. He didn't expect anything and couple weeks later his video had half million views!. He also said that he has been trying many thing, not just YouTube but other social media to market himself out to the global music industry.

There're many things to write about his talent. I would like to suggest you guys to check out his musics whether in his personal page or YouTube. And you will see why I chose him to be the example of independent artists who became a real man of social media artists. He is a role model of DIY musicians who want to present themselves to the world.
