I really enjoyed this interview as it was a great introduction to Maggie Kim, a Korea-American-Parisian rock artist. You don’t come across that everyday. She discusses everything from her creative process, to her latest album “Love Like Everyone”, to even her life philosophy. I really like how articulate she is with her thoughts and experiences and look forward to hearing more from her in the future.
Can we call Maggie Kim a Parisian Korean-American? What we do know is that Maggie Kim is one of the prettiest bassist you’ll ever meet with a voice that sweeps you away into her indie-pop-rock music. We sat down with Maggie in the midst of her busy schedule while she was in New York City. When we showed up at the Dominion, we walked in during the middle of rehearsal and her busy life. We quietly sat down to watch what was a pretty cool scene: a Korean female at center stage playing the bass guitar. How many Korean gals do you know that can play a mean bass? She was pregnant at the time and she was just finishing up her mini-tour across the U.S. In between one of the sets, she sat down with us to talk about her love for music and the adventures in trying to produce her latest album, “Love Like Everyone,” her third solo record but first full-length album. During our conversation, she told us about how dire things got as a starving musician in New York, but since that rough patch, she’s been moving on up and enjoying life with her music, life in paris, and motherhood.
