San E is a 26 years old Korean rapper who debuted with JYP Entertainment in September 2010. Before his debut, he was an underground rapper renowned for his rapping skills. He even won the grand award for best rap and hip hop songs and was dubbed as a ‘rap prodigy’ earlier this year in March at the 7th Public Korean Music Awards..Wow! He is such a great rapper yah..
How did he join JYPE? Yeah, I read his interview with Star News in allkpop, he explained that just wanted to get his name out to the public as opposed to doing real hip hop music. ‘Tasty San’ is an album that was produced by both him and Park Jin Young (JYP). However, the production style of it was done in his own taste, making it the first debut album put out by JYPE where the artist created it himself.
He began to explain that his background also drew him to working with JYP. Park Jin Young has a lot of contacts with various singers in America, allowing for closer observation.
“I emigrated to Atlanta in junior high. My parents still live there. While attending college at UGA (University of Georgia), I noticed that Park Jin Young worked on a lot of collaborations with American artists and realized that JYPE is a company that’s spreading out into the world, which is what brought me to send them a demo tape. Luckily, JYPE took me in last August and I’ve finally debuted now.”
San E had help from JYPE artists for his debut album such as
miss A’s Min, 2PM’s Junsu, and the
Wonder Girls’ YeEun.
