Kwon BoA is one of the most promising young artist in South East Asia. She signed a record label with SM entertainment on her early teens, and came to the attention of the Japanese label Avex, after having a very successfull debut album ID; Peace B. She in my opinion is one of the most talented artists of our generation. Her magnificent singing voiced and her amazing dancing skills put her on top as one of the best performers of our time. Being at a young age, BoA has a bright future a head of her and hopefully will be soon recognized not just by the Asian community but by everyone around the world.
Gweon Bo-a (BoA), one of the most
promising young artists in South East Asia, is only 15 years old. She was signed
to South Korean record label SM Entertainment in her early teens. She came to
the attention of Japanese label Avex, after her debut album ID: PEACE B made the
Top 10 in Korea, and in 2001 signed a recording deal with the label. Since then,
all of her singles charted in Oricon ranking (Japanese equivalent of Billboard).
Her single, THE MEANING OF PEACE, a duet with Kumi Koda (see below), is a
September 11 benefit CD produced by Tetsuya Komuro, one of Japan's most prolific
and successful producer.
In March 2002, after releasing her first Japanese album LISTEN TO MY HEART, she
has become the first non-Japanese Asian artist to top the album charts in Japan
(charted No.1 in Oricon album ranking on 3/25/2002).
LISTEN TO MY HEART has been co-produced by Max Matsuura (Avex) and Soo Man Lee
(SM Entertainment) and it contains a remix by Hex Hector. BoA sings in Korean,
Japanese, and English.
Her second Korean album, NO.1, was released on April 12, 2002 (150,000 copies
were sold in just the first day).
