On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by DPR IAN.

Christian Yu began making music under the moniker DPR IAN in late 2015 as one of the founding members of Seoul’s DPR (“Dream Perfect Regime”) collective, which creates, directs, produces, and edits various multimedia projects for its roster.

Having put out two EPs in the last couple of years, DPR IAN has transformed into an unpredictable solo artist whose work blurs together pop, R&B, rock, and electronica with painstaking attention to detail.

In a conversation with Madden, the Australian singer, rapper, and director dives into building new versions of yourself, tattoos as intimate memories, and his current THE DREAM REBORN tour.
