hey, this is mr. hong. my first full-length album, 'midnight' is hopefully coming to vinyl.
i came up with these songs over the last year, ever since i started my professional career. my peaks of inspiration and creativity would mostly come while i had trouble falling sleep after a long day of work or feeling restless on a plane ride. music became my 'midnight passion', as i would open up to music in the early hours of the day (to the dismay of my neighbors).
but out of it came something special. with that, i hope you enjoy 'midnight', a collection of 12 songs. and more importantly, i hope you all keep going on your midnight passions.

Each project provides a glimpse into mr. hong's life and thoughts at that time - in his breakthrough project Long Days.Short Years, mr. hong reminisces on how his college career came and went, quickly and slowly. Three Days Off discusses his constant battle adjusting to work and life in a busy and noisy world.
While he isn't that active in the club and DJ scene, mr. hong occupies himself by collaborating with vocalists and producers from far and wide: from Korea's rising vocalists Summer Soul and Rosy, to Australia's Akacia, to premier MCs Blu and Lord Apex, and producers such City Girl, Barrett Marshall and many more. His debut full-length album, Midnight, was released February 2019 and is available today on streaming platforms as well as on a limited edition vinyl.
