Bio:
Picture a kid bouncing between LA's sunny sprawl, the humid pulse of Brazil, and Paraguay's quieter rhythms before landing back in Arcadia for high school— that's the patchwork world that shaped Mark Tuan, with his Taiwanese roots weaving through American beats and global echoes. Scouted straight from lunch one day, he dove into JYP's trainee life, emerging in 2014 as GOT7's sharp-edged lead rapper, his flows slicing through tracks like "Just Right" with a cool, effortless fire that made fans feel seen in the chaos of young love and hustle. Those early days with the crew—trading verses with Jackson, syncing dances with Yugyeom—built a brotherhood that still hums in his solo sound, even after they all went their ways post-2021.

Fast-forward to now, and Mark's leaning hard into that intimate groove with his new EP Silhouette, dropped just yesterday like a late-night confession over city lights. It's got that raw K-pop heart he knows so well, but laced with R&B's smoky pull—title track "Sunsets & Cigarettes" paints fading highs and quiet regrets in hazy hooks that hit like a drive down the Pacific Coast Highway at dusk. After his 2022 solo start with the other side, this feels like coming home, baring the push-pull of roots and reinvention. If you're chasing that ache of what-ifs wrapped in a steady beat, his voice is the one that pulls you through, one verse closer to steady ground.
