The Short Documentary Features R&B Singers Gallant and Lee Hi!

Breakout artist Gallant has teamed with longtime partner Red Bull Sound Select to create ‘Seoul Music: The Rise of Korean R&B,’ a short doc chronicling his exploration of the country’s emerging KR&B scene with South Korean soul R&B singer Lee Hi. On the road to headline Jisan Valley Rock Festival, Gallant sits with rapper Tablo, DJ Soulscape and Korean artist Jinbo the SuperFreak to discuss South Korea’s musical history and influences. ‘Seoul Music’ culminates in Gallant’s performance of “Skipping Stones” with rising star Lee Hi during his headlining slot at Jisan Valley Rock Festival in South Korea, the last show of his Grammy-nominated Ology tour.

“The amount of love that I have for Seoul is never ending,” states Gallant. “I was a fan of K-Pop back in high school and later on in college it kind of took over as the leading Eastern musical genre.Over time Korean artists started writing their own songs and creating their own movements, which was the thread that pulled me into learning more about the history and delving into exactly what this emerging KR&B scene was really like.”

Gallant links with rapper Tablo in ‘Seoul Music,’ a relationship born from their wildly popular collaboration on “Cave Me In” with Eric Nam earlier this year. With his performance at the MNET Awards last December, Gallant has seen his popularity on the continent explode over the past year, including a sold out headlining show in Seoul and his recent festival performance.

More About Gallant:
Gallant arrived on the scene and was quickly labeled the “breakthrough artist of 2015” with “the voice that will redefine R&B” by Billboard and NME respectively before even releasing his debut LP, the GRAMMY nominated Ology in 2016. With Ology came performances at the White House, a tour with John Legend, shows with Elton John and Seal, a “30 Under 30 of 2017” from Forbes, and Billboard’s #1 moment of Coachella. Gallant released “Skipping Stones feat. Jhene Aiko” (prod. by Adrian Younge, co-prod. by Stint) via Red Bull Sound Select in early 2016, with the track later being released on Gallant’s critically acclaimed debut LP. The LA locals filmed the video for “Skipping Stones” with director duo American Millennial (Sia, M83, School of Seven Bells). While the video is shot from the viewpoint of one camera, it captures the unique experience and perspective of both of the song’s voices.

More About Lee Hi:
Lee Hi (born on September 23, 1996), is a well-known South Korean singer. She first appeared on national television as a contestant for a famous Korean competition program called KPOP Star Season 1. She received second place, and soon after debuted on November 4th, 2012 as a solo artist. As a musician, Lee Hi is widely acclaimed for being able to express her genuine and innermost emotions through her unique voice. Since her debut, she released several albums and received the Golden Disc Award Song Division in 2017 and the Golden Disc Award for New Rising Star Award in Digital Music in 2013.
