“I have a few songs that are dedicated to my family and culture. The first song where I used Korean cultural music is called ‘Sa Mo Jung’ off my first album 10 years ago. It’s the name of a park my uncle built in my family’s original hometown of Ganeung. It translates roughly to ‘Remembering Mother Park.’ It’s dedicated to my grandmother, but also all mothers. A lot of my cultural appreciation comes from my strong Korean mother, so I wanted to thank her by dedicating this song to her.” TOKiMONSTA Read more on Last.fm.
Born and raised in the South Bay area of Los Angeles, TOKiMONSTA (Jennifer Lee) was an unfocused pupil of classical piano. However, she has come to use this background to understand and create vast soundscapes and textures through the usage of live instruments, percussion, digital manipulation, and dusty vinyl. Through the creation of beats, she is able to fuse the sounds of the past with her musical prowess into something avant garde. Lee is a Korean-American, "Toki" means "a rabbit" in Korean. Her debut album, Midnight Menu, was released in 2010.
