Korean Singer/Songwriter: Good Son


Listen Later

Good Son is Chicago songwriter and producer Yoo Soo Kim. The name is a play on a Korean word 'guksung (극성)' that his dad called him when he was a kid. The word, which translates to 'polarity,' is a term that's lost in translation. In his case, he was a frequent troublemaker (a disruption/opposite of peace).
By way of his continuous curiosity, Yoo Soo has been commended for his strength in versatility. Each genre he dives into – whether it’s rock, pop, classical, or electronic – has been done with precision and quality.
Growing up, good son played classical as a child, seethed on punk rock as a teenager, all the while secretly adored pop. His music, as a result, moves from beautifully lush to earnest and raw.
Yoo Soo and his music have been featured in NPR and Alternative Press. His work has been featured in the Super Bowl, Toyota, Reese’s, and Dell among others.
