Life and career

[edit]

Junoflo (born Samuel Juno Park) was raised in Los Angeles, California.[1] He attended college at the University of California, San Diego and worked as a photographer at hip-hop concerts in San Diego.[6]

Junoflo first gained fame through his appearance as a contestant on the South Korean survival reality show, Show Me the Money 5 in 2016. Later that year, he signed to Feel Ghood Music, the hip hop label founded by Korean rapper Tiger JK.[7] In 2017, he appeared on Show Me the Money 6, in which he advanced to the semi-finals.[8]

In March 2018, Junoflo released his first album under Feel Ghood Music, the extended play Only Human. The album includes the single, "Grapevine," featuring Jay Park.[1] In January 2019, he released the full-length album, Statues. That same month, he became the first Korean artist to perform at an NBA halftime show, when he performed at a match between the Los Angeles Clippers and the New Orleans Pelicans.[9]

Junoflo left Feel Ghood Music in April 2019[7] and relocated back to Los Angeles at the beginning of 2020. He released a 10-track, full-length album, 222:AM in September 2020 with guest features from Ted Park, Jeff Bernat, Manila Grey, Miknna, and others.
