On the latest episode of SBS‘ ‘Healing Camp‘, which aired on the 30th, J.Y. Park revealed that after 11 months in the U.S. as a producer, his songs entered the Billboard Top 10 albums charts. He became the first Asian producer to create hit songs for artists such as Mase, Will Smith, and Cassie in less than 2 years.
J.Y. Park stated, “I was so proud of myself that I put the CD in a showcase in my room and the thought, ‘How did I do this?’, suddenly came to me. Now that I think about it, I was in way over my head. I realized that compared to my efforts, my results were much bigger than I deserved. I realized that I had good fortune, and began to write the events that happened to me out of luck.”
He then recalled, “In 1972, being born in South Korea to my parents, my mom forcing me to learn piano against my own will, living for 2 years in the US when I was 7 years old, hearing Michael Jackson’s music at the time, being able to learn english for 2 and a 1/2 years, being blessed with an intelligent brain with a high concentration ability that helped me to study well, being born at the time of analog and digital production, meeting producers Kim Hyung Suk and Bang Shi Hyuk as well as countless artists, having a musical foundation of 16 years, and not dying from various accidents or illnesses.”
“It should be normal for me to forget English. But after falling in love with Michael Jackson’s music, I began to only listen to American radio and watch American TV. I would listen and dance to black music for four hours every day. I didn’t study English for my future. It’s all because of pure luck. If just one of these things that I mentioned didn’t happen, the results would have been totally different.”
J.Y. Park then revealed he thought to himself, “What did I do well to deserve all this?” and confessed, “Only 30% of my success came from my own effort.”
