Congrats on sending off “Luminosity” close by your worldwide ambassadorship with Versace! Educate us more and how you began making the track?
“Glimmer” is a pristine single I created in a joint effort with Versace. I moved toward this melody from what I realized in design culture — this piece genuinely mirrors my excursion as a performer and performing craftsman. Throughout the course of recent years, I have investigated and tried different things with a wide range of kinds, mixing outdated with new-school components, and integrating my own taste into current music. “Radiance” is brought into the world from this interaction.
You’re known for being associated with making your tunes. In what ways did you get imaginatively engaged with “Phosphorescence”?
I draw motivation from how fashioners curate their dress examples, the smooth slice subtleties and the consideration regarding quality, and make an interpretation of that into the melody. I needed the synth plan to be special, restless, and dull while having vocals holding that rock component. While composing, I envisioned scenes of design runway — blazing strobe lights — with a more baffling feel. The runway would be an ideal setting for this sound.
Indeed what does “Radiance” address for your music profession?
Beginning from “Luminosity,” we will hear a spic and span KUN sound. We’re beginning another part in music, and hoping to deliver more melodies in both Chinese and English.
Will “Luminosity” have its own music video as well?
Many fans could recollect our past Craftsmanship Lab live show. Here is some selective information for my Bulletin companions: Craftsmanship Lab 2.0 is coming soon, including a live presentation of “Phosphorescence.”
How really does design impact your life everyday?
Design generally motivates me in the innovative strategy of songwriting. I love rare apparel very much like the way that I love paying attention to exemplary melodies, as well as rancher caps and harsh pants while composing rock tunes. Style configuration is a dreary interaction that includes consistent tweaking until the eventual outcome is created. That cycle incites or interests; it has no imaginative limit. Especially like while making music, there are vast potential outcomes.
I read that your Versace news became a web sensation in China with 400 million perspectives on Weibo in less than a week and a No. 1 quest point for a really long time. Is it true or not that you were anticipating a particularly intriguing reaction?
I was in a tune camp at that [time]. It was around 3 a.m. so I was sleeping when my group awakened me and let me know the uplifting news. I value all that my fans accomplish for myself and we support each other as far as possible.
You visited the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. on your KUN ONE Visit in 2019. Are there any designs for additional abroad shows?
We are arranging many shocks this year; more news is coming. I have been in the studio constant for a forthcoming new venture. I’m likewise planning another music show creation that can rejuvenate sound on a live stage for certain gifted essayists and makers from everywhere the world.
What else could we at any point anticipate from you in 2024?
2024 has been my initial step into building a mark and company that addresses the workmanship I love to such an extent. I’ve been targeting making and delivering a couple of worldwide music projects from my mark this year and pondering a worldwide visit, so I’m driving myself to hit these cutoff times. I’ve never delivered an authority worldwide collection, and I’m investing the energy to make that a reality. The music is the concentration however, so in the event that I don’t feel it’s prepared, I might hold on until mid 2025. I’m partaking during the time spent everything.
Some other objectives during the current year?
Objectives… comply with my time constraints. [Laughs] And on the off chance that I fulfill those time constraints, the following objective is a genuine one: to ensure individuals who pay attention to the music and experience it live can feel the same way I did when I was making it. Assuming they let me know that they felt something, I hit my objectives for 2024.
Something else to impart to perusers or worldwide fans as of now?
I’d very much want to work with specialists from around the world. Joint effort with craftsmen of various societies is what I love about craftsmanship, music, and style, so for global audience members, message me with thoughts, and furthermore message me with urban areas that you think would need to encounter my new undertakings.
