An Artist Talks wth Jaesun Windsor, 22.09.2011, kunsthaus Tacheles, Berlin

Jaesun is a young ambitious hip hop producer, he is a song writer and raps his texts with a Canadian twist. He describes the scene in his country as very active.

He is going to collaborate with another artist producer to finalize a first album, for which he will prepare a tour in the North of Canda. He is experienced in event organization and has many helpful contacts in the club/concert scene.

He has always listened to hip hop since he is 13 and qualifies himself as a bad boy. He likes the social and political impact that some good rap texts can have, and has an admiration for this form of expression. He also sees the superficial side of this hip hop production.  But still he feels it is positive, since it has opened the possibility for different social classes, to reach out to the people.


Jaesun is curious and has enjoyed discovering the Kunsthaus. He came through with a bunch of tourists and he came to my studio. That is how we met. He talks easily and enjoys communicating with strangers, he has been traveling through Europe since August. I took him around the studios in the Kunsthaus Tacheles and he was amazed by all the artists he spoke with. "He had no idea that places like this exist" he says, "He has had so much fun!"

Jaesun likes life and you can tell: He is enjoying every minute of his time and follows the flow. He knows how to trust his feelings and instinct. He is fast and clever and likes to suprise. Let's hope his album is a good suprise...

We were lucky after the interview to hear The Kominas a punk Pakistani American band from New York playing on the first floor of the arthouse that same night. The talk was easy going and relaxed. I had a nice time.
