eaJ is the musical moniker of American musician, singer, songwriter, and composer Jae Park. Born in Buenos Aires, raised in Cerritos, California and of Korean descent, Park first drew industry attention online as a YouTube musician and is best known as a former vocalist and lead guitarist of chart-topping South Korean rock band Day6. eaJ’s solo project has garnered millions upon millions of views and has collaborated with artists such as MAX, Rich Brian, keshi, Seori, DPR Live, and more.
His latest single “right where you left me” featuring Hindia is a reassuring song written from a flipped perspective of someone who is willing to wait as the other side matures and returns. Park shares, “It is written from the outlook of someone who is waiting for a loved one to come back from an emotional journey of self-discovery. They understand that life isn’t a movie and that things change from time to time. With a big heart of understanding and wanting to be of help for the person more so than one’s self, they sacrifice their own emotional well being to further encourage the other to explore as much as possible, with the reassurance that they will be right where they left them, if they choose to return.”
Within the addictive, move-inducing track, there is a juxtaposition between the upbeat and rocky sound of the song and the sad but hopeful lyrics. Coming to life with playful melodies and big, anthemic drums, the infectious sing-a-long lyrics will worm their way into your mind and stay put all day long.
Over the last couple of years, eaJ is proving to be a force to be reckoned with. The music video for his 2022 single “Car Crash” garnered over a million views in just three days. eaJ has headlined over 100 shows, completed a sold-out world tour and has had several number-one chart-topping tracks. Reinforced by a hyperactive fanbase, he is making his transition from the K-pop space into the international pop world while also establishing himself in gaming as a Twitch streamer. Gaining momentous support across all platforms, he has been top-trending on Twitter on multiple occasions.
