Life and career

Early life and career

Kwon Hyuk was born and raised in Hongeun-dong, Seoul.[2][7] He developed an interest in American hip hop and rap in middle school,[8] and began singing in high school.[9] At that time, he considered music as an "escape from studying,"[8] rather than an occupation.[10] He initially wrote songs in his room, which he kept secret from his parents at first.[7] Although he was the first musician in his family, his parents enjoyed music and supported his decision to become an artist.[9]

He began his career at the age of sixteen, performing with hip-hop artist Keith Ape.[11] By eighteen, he was writing tracks for K-pop stars,[11][12] under the name 'Deanfluenza'.[13] The name originated from actor James Dean, whose rebellious image appealed to him, and the word 'influenza', signifying his desire to make a "viral" impact on the music industry.[13]

At the age of twenty, he was under the tutelage of Joombas Music Group CEO and producer Hyuk Shin, employed with the songwriting team of the Los Angeles-based company whose works include EXO's "Growl" and Justin Bieber's "One Less Lonely Girl".[2][8][14] He was credited on tracks including Exo's "Black Pearl" and VIXX's "Voodoo Doll".[2]

2015: U.S. and South Korean debut

Dean debuted in the United States in July 2015 with the single "I'm Not Sorry", featuring Grammy winner Eric Bellinger.[3] This set him apart from other Korean singers who had collaborated with American artists, the vast majority of whom began their careers in Korea.[10][15] FACT UK magazine's Claire Lobenfeld subsequently referred to his work with Bellinger, when listing him as an R&B artist to watch for in 2016, noting that artists like Justin Bieber and Chris Brown had also worked with Bellinger.[16] That year, he also collaborated with Mila J on "Here & Now" and Anderson Paak on "Put My Hands on You".[2][15][17][18]

He debuted in South Korea in October that year, and his second single "Pour Up", featuring Block B's rapper Zico,[14] was named Best R&B and Soul Song at the Korean Music Awards on February 29, 2016.[19][20][21] He also collaborated with Korean hip-hop artists Zion.T, Crush, and Junggigo on the single "247",[14][22][23] Dok2 on "I Love It",[14] and Dynamic Duo on "How You Doin'?".[24]

2016: 130 Mood : TRBL, and music producing

On January 8, 2016, Dean released the single "What 2 Do", featuring Crush and Filipino-American singer Jeff Bernat,[25] On March 25, he released his first EP 130 mood : TRBL, which he wrote and produced with collaborators.[26] The EP charted at No. 10 on the Gaon Album Chart,[27] No. 3 on the Billboard World Albums chart, and No. 22 on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart, while "Bonnie & Clyde" entered Billboard's World Digital Songs chart at No. 12.[28] The EP was well received, and was nominated for Album of the Year and Best R&B & Soul Album on Korean Hip-Hop Awards and Korean Music Awards, respectively, as well the two track on the album "D (half moon)" and "21" received multiple nomination.[29][30][31]

In 2016 he had several collaborations, notably featuring on Taeyeon's single "Starlight",[32] Heize's single "Shut Up & Groove" and "And July", and a collaboration on a single and music video with Zico and Crush, named "Bermuda Triangle",[33][34] which debuted on Billboard's World Digital Songs chart at No. 3, making it the highest position he had received on that chart.[35] He also placed for the first time on two "overall popularity" charts; he and his song "D (Half Moon)" featuring Gaeko debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard Twitter Emerging Artists chart[36] and the song at No. 33 on the Billboard Twitter Top Tracks chart.[37] On December 11, "Bermuda Triangle" won the weekly competition on the Inkigayo music show.[38]
