SOHMI: Watching SOHMI take control of the decks and effortlessly command the attention of thousands of people at venues like the Brooklyn Mirage, you can’t help but understand right away there’s something special about her. And while being thrust in front of such high-stakes situations and crowds might cause panic for some, for the Korean American DJ, producer, and vocalist – who is a classically trained pianist and graduate of theater studies – being on stage is where she’s always felt most at home. Landing on the scene just a few years ago, SOHMI quickly gained a reputation for her nuanced and emotive brand of DJing, subsequently becoming the first Korean woman to be named a resident at LA’s premier underground house and techno club, Sound. Though she had barely been DJing for a year at that point, it was clear to everyone that she was a natural force behind the decks. Undoubtedly, all her years of musical training prepared SOHMI for this moment. With a sonic ethos heavily rooted in and influenced by her studies of classical music, she draws inspiration from the old symphonic masters in her approach to building DJ sets and the minimalism of modern 20th century composers in her productions. Equally influential to SOHMI’s musical vision are the slinky R&B and UK pop/garage cuts of the 90’s and early 2000’s by artists like Aaliyah, Cassie, and Craig David. Indeed, she’s driven as an artist by the desire to bridge all of these sounds together in ways that are at once familiar, yet somehow completely unexpected and new.
