My Top 3 Mashup Artist in K-POP Industry

Music makes me feel that I'm still alive just like other people. They reminds me of everything that is worthy in this world. Being a big fan of music makes me also want to be part of it. But then, God is sometimes cruel, I don't have any talent related to music. I've tried anything just like writing songs, singing and even playing musical instrument but its no good. This fact doesn't make me feel bad, I just thought that maybe my role here is to support anyone who had the talent that I doesn't have.

We all know that in music, there are many genre to choose from. One of those genre that hang me in the edge of paradise is Mashup. According to Wikipedia, Mashup is is a song or composition created by blending two or more pre-recorded songs, usually by overlaying the vocal track of one song seamlessly over the instrumental track of another. If you haven't heard any track that goes under mashup genre, you should try listening to it once. There are many artist who made a mashup song of popular single nowadays. Just search it in Youtube, Spotify or other music streaming app/site and you would find one.

If you've read my personal information you should know that I've been a big fan of K-culture. It is also the reason why I wanted to write this post. Last night I tried to search if there is someone who made/wrote their 'Top 10 or Top 3' Mashup artist and to my sad research I found out that no one write an article about their favorite artist. Maybe Mashup is not that yet popular this days.

So I thought, why not write about it myself? I mean there's nothing to lose. So finally, (I'm sorry if its too long before I went to the point IT just like explaining myself) here are my TOP 3 MASHUP ARTIST IN K-POP INDUSTRY. This list is not in order or who's the best artist among them. All of them are pretty amazing and its really hard to rank them. Maybe I'll leave the ranking to you ^.^

1. SHIMMixes ( YT Channel )
I first listened to his work way back in 2013. I just unexpectedly click one of his work and kabam! I fell in love with his work. That single I fell in love first was his 2012 KPOP Mega Mashup. It features most of the K-artist I know including 2NE1, Miss A, Infinite and many more. Here's the link to the mashup I fell in love. Because of this I started to get curious about him and then I find out that he's a fellow Filipino. I also find out many things about him like he was known as DJ Shim , he started making mashup at the age of 14 and many more! I find him really inspiring because at the young age he already have a talent that revolves in music. I wish I'm just like him.

2. 김동우 ( YT Channel )

I don't know what to say about this person's work! I mean its a total insane, all of his work are worth to listen just like Shim. Well honestly, I cant read his name because I'm too dumb to read hangul well I can read some hangul but this one? I don't know. I'm just a dumb K-pop fangirl and its so depressing. Anyway lets go back to him. I don't really know about his personal information, all I know are he is a fan of Koreans (well obviously) and also a male. I'm a failed researcher T.T

I first heard his BTS - Dope and Boy In Luv Mashup and that's the time I become a fan of him. I don't really remember when I subscribe in his channel but to tell you the truth his work is insane. The arrangements and the rhythm are intact that makes a new song wonderful. I wish I can meet him personal and thank him to being born.

3. RYUSERALOVER ( YT Channel )

Honestly, I don't know him. Once again I'm a failed researcher I even thought that his a girl. I'm really jealous about him because he lives in France , I really want to go there. For me, Ryuseralover make all things possible. Ryuseralover made many instrumental , accapella and many more! Of course the reason why I like him is because of his mashup singles. I can never unloved this person. My most favorite single he produce is RV - Automatic X BTS - House of Card Mashup. Try listening to it once and I'm sure you'll definitely fall in love with it!

Thank you for reading this post. It's actually just my research. Of course there are many artist that's good than them but I still love their works. As you seen in the post title it indicates that this list is definitely my opinion. If you know anyone who also makes a mashup that makes you fall in love please tell me. Maybe that artist will be my future husband (lol). Anyway, thank you again for reading this. Love lots!

PS : I also love Daniel Kim!!!
