Although he was born in the Bronx, John Park moved to Leonia, NJ at the age of 6 and has considered Jersey home ever since. He grew up in the New York City area at a time when hip hop was thriving. Like many other youths at the time, he naturally experimented with rap. His lyrical consciousness intensified one summer as it became more personal following the passing of his paternal grandfather. His lyrics served as an emotional outlet and provided healing for the pain that came from experiencing the death of his grandfather who had been an indispensable part of the first seventeen years of his life. Months later, upon revealing his work to close friends, they encouraged him to continue writing and to eventually perform.

Since then, John Park's musical content and lyrical maturity has continued to evolve. From light-hearted to deeply passionate, his songs cover a wide range of topics. Many songs are introspective and cover personal issues like ambition, family, love, and faith. Other songs cover sociopolitical issues like the marginalization of voices by societal hegemony ("Retaliation") or offer creative accounts of painful national histories ("Voice Out of War"). John Park's life reflects a commitment to the performing arts and social justice.

Hey where can I get your music? I just heard "I will not fall" on the Duke Improv video and instantly tried to find the full song but failed.
