The leap from Korean barbecue to music might not seem an obvious one, but for CHO it was the only logical move. No stranger to the music industry, CHO spent years as a DJ touring the US, enthralling crowds on stages from Lollapalooza to North Coast Music Festival before leaving it all in 2012 and heading back home to the suburbs of Chicago to care for his ill father. CHO opened his successful Korean barbecue restaurant in the city, named one of the "Best New Restaurants" by Chicago Magazine however the itch to get back into music persisted – intensifying with the recollection of words of support from his father: “Before my dad passed away he said after two years of running a restaurant, if I find passion in music again, sell the business and get back into it. He told me he was proud either way. Strangely, everything is following that path.” CHO has gone all in, selling his restaurant to make music full time.
