What is a Fan?
Thoughts from this side: Interviewers ask me from time to time: “How does it feel to be famous?” First off, I don’t feel like I’m some sort of a celebrity, nor will I ever “feel” that way. Imagine you (the reader) puts up a video of yourself being “you” on YouTube and it explodes overnight for whatever reason. Now answer the question - how does it...

BY MY SIDE - Album Commentary
BETTER YOU This song is about how people are so quick to judge negatively based on stupid reasons. Have you met someone that you thought was a total douche, loser, b!@ch, or __insert here__ to find that they are actually pretty awesome people? I get judged negatively everyday just by being David Choi but I always wonder if they’d still think the way they do if they just met me and had...

WatchPO BOX ASIA + AUSTRALIA TOUR + PO BOX FACTS - I keep 95% of the gifts and letters I receive that are not edible in a cardboard box. I will do something special with them when I move out. - If you guessed burn the letters, you are incorrect. - Chocolate is good but with the large amounts you guys send me, it will kill me or make me severely obese. - Most PO BOX videos are made months after I...

Don't Waste a Listen.
When I listen to music, I like to get the most out of it.
Of course, I produce and write as well, so there is an element of technicality when I listen to music. In other words, I listen to how the arrangements of the songs are, how well they are mixed, how well they are performed, and how nice the melody is. But when I say I like to get the most out of it, I’m talking about the experience...

I Don't Jam
I don’t jam. I’m not really someone who enjoys playing music and singing along with others to share a “feel good” atmosphere. I’m not a jukebox. Maybe sometimes…
Yes, I do shows and “entertain”, but it’s honestly not even my goal to become an entertainer. Never was. I don’t even like performing on most days. I don’t want to...
Giving More Than Receiving.
This is a rambling ramble on the subject: Giving More Than Receiving Just being honest here… You know, sometimes I’m just tired of doing stuff for people. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t let people “use” me. I don’t. I won’t. I’m not stupid and I know and already assume there is a motive for most people asking me to do things for them (or...

And so the little birdie flies away Just like that She didn’t go too far But you know she ain’t coming back You say goodbye, and the good side shows You turn around but no one knows A quiet sadness hides behind the closed door Like nothing ever happened In all that was said and clear Never will I forget and will learn Good times and bad times revealed Yet knowing all of this I will...
Please Travel
There is a lot to be gained from traveling.
Of course there is the money issue, but if you can, do it. (if you do it too much, you’ll catch the travel bug and it will change your life [now for better or worse, I can’t say]) Sometimes when I travel, I enjoy doing tourist things, but most of the time, I don’t. I love checking out local hot spots and I love being surrounded by the...

Why? That's a Complicated Question
So I’ve seen this question asked more than once over the years, not only on my videos, but some friends as well. Of course, I get this question asked when I have a video with mostly Asians in it. Growing up, I faced racism every so often just like most Asian kids who grew up in predominately white neighborhoods. Yep, it made me angry and I wanted to kill them, but I don’t think...

Goodbye Snoopy
It’s 3:19am. It’s quiet. There’s an empty feeling inside of me.
I keep looking behind me on my bed and he’s not there. I walk out of my room and look to the left in his usual spot near the laundry room. He’s not there either. I walk downstairs and I see his dog bowls neatly tucked away in the corner - empty.
The veterinarian first injected a sedative into Snoopy to...
I'll Miss You Snoopy
It’s around 10:00am on Friday. Today is the day for my best buddy to go. He’s sleeping in my sister’s room at the moment wrapped around in blankets. I’d actually prefer him to be there right now instead of being in my cold room. The other nights, he whimpered at random times throughout the night and I lost a ton of sleep, but last night, he was quietly sleeping.
A part of...
And So it Begins Again...
On the road once again. An exciting and adventurous part of my life…something I can not do alone because of the heavy loads of shirts and CD’s that burden me. However, this is a fundamental part of a musician’s life. The stress of carrying heavy weight will continue as long as I continue to do everything on my own as I have done thus far.
Control freak.
Afraid to give control...

I Won't Work With You
Collaborating with people is something people do all the time. It’s a great way to share an audience and expand your reach, but I have this strange thing about collaborations.
No matter how talented or how awesome of a person they are, sometimes, I just can’t get myself to work with them. I respect their craft so much that…
I simply just want to be a fan.

I Am Important
I like being prepared, or more like, I NEED to be prepared. Now I don’t mean in the sense of being prepared for a vacation trip or a meeting, but in LIFE.
It’s who I’ve become.
Ever since I was young, I learned a very important lesson: Everything in life has been done. The blueprints to anything you ever dreamed to become has been set by someone else in this world.
Now think...

Getting Better or Worse?
Success is defined by what we think success is.
Money? Fame? These have nothing to do with my current definition of success. The latter never crossed my mind, but the money part did. I would be lying if I didn’t think money defined success. After all, we see people like Bill Gates, Donald Trump, and even people like Soulja Boy with all the money in the world and we can’t help but...

Musicians Love You...
This is all based on my definition of love.
When an artist says “I love you” to the fans, what the hell does that mean? And most of all, how do the fans (I hate that word) believe that crap? You shouldn’t believe that because it simply isn’t true.
Why does the artist love you? Because you bought their CD or went to their show? Because you give them money? Because you love...
