This week we have singer, songwriter, and dancer, Lydia Paek AKA @thelyddz in the pod! As an OG member of the original @questcrew, Lydia has been a dancer at heart. As a lover of music and dance, she soon found her love and gift for creating music. She ventured out into the KPOP scene where she became a composer and songwriter for the Korean pop music label @yg_ent_official. With a catalogue of hit songs on the charts, Lydia has had a very extensive and successful career as an artist. All that said, her identity has never been based on what she does, but rather in why she’s doing it. In the ever changing landscape of the entertainment industry, Lydia has been able to base her success not on how many hit songs she’s written, but rather on making decisions that fulfill her life’s purpose.   For anyone who has ever wondered why they’re doing what they’re doing, this is a very sobering way to take inventory of your “WHY”  Jump in!   Instagram  https://www.instagram.com/thelyddz   YouTube  https://www.youtube.com/juukkes   — SPONSORS — Audible Free Trial: https://www.kinjazpodkast.com/audible   MSTR Watches  www.MSTRWATCHES.COM Discount Code: KINJAZPOD 25% OFF ENTIRE PURCHASE   KIN Aesthetik  www.store.kinjaz.com Discount Code: PODKAST 15% OFF ENTIRE PURCHASE     — SHOW NOTES —   (3:00) Married life   (6:52) Origin story   (8:01) Step Off Dance Ministry - https://www.facebook.com/stepoffministry/   (8:32) Sodium Dance Company - https://www.instagram.com/sodiumdanceco   (9:20) Meeting Ryanimay - https://www.instagram.com/ryanigram   (9:33) Meeting Hok - https://www.instagram.com/hok   (9:40) Joining Quest Crew and TM Juniors - http://www.instagram.com/questcrew &amp; https://www.teammillennia.com/tm-juniors   (9:55) Meeting David Yi - https://www.instagram.com/aznc0wb0y   (10:22) Dumbfoundead - https://www.instagram.com/dumbfoundead   (10:55) Sickstep - https://youtu.be/ryvY9P973KM   (11:52) Invert freeze - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4HU2UsFOzk   (13:00) Boxcuttuhz - https://americasbestdancecrew.fandom.com/wiki/Boxcuttuhz   (14:25) Parents’ support?   (16:05) When did music start?   (17:01) Got the opportunity to go to Korea to work with YG Entertainment   (17:10) Shaun Evaristo &amp; Big Bang - https://www.instagram.com/shaunevaristo &amp; https://www.ygfamily.com/artist/About.asp?LANGDIV=E&amp;ATYPE=2&amp;ARTIDX=3   (19:13) YG audition   (19:26) Meeting Yang Hyun Suk and Teddy - https://www.instagram.com/fromyg &amp; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teddy_Park    (19:55) First song I wrote   (21:19) First hit song for Park Bam of 2NE1 “Don’t Cry” - https://youtu.be/ypit0NcNV-8   (21:50) Discovering the path of becoming a songwriter   (28:00) What type of artist I wanted to be   (30:40) How I handle transition   (34:33) Lyle Beniga - https://www.instagram.com/lylebeniga &amp; Parris Goebel - https://www.instagram.com/parrisgoebel   (35:40) Ellen Kim - https//www.instagram.com/ellenkimchee &amp; Sheela Awe - https://www.instagram.com/sheelaawe   (37:22) How to deal with insecurities   (49:20) Masta Wu - https://www.instagram.com/mastawu02   (49:24) “Crazy Love” by Francis Chan - https://www.amazon.com/s?k=crazy+love+by+francis+chan&amp;gclid=EAIaIQobChMIhqzwhPGG5AIVmJOzCh0BfgcBEAAYASAAEgIGHfD_BwE&amp;hvadid=241636345348&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvlocphy=9030938&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvpos=1t1&amp;hvqmt=e&amp;hvrand=16540506476446333237&amp;hvtargid=kwd-7240296641&amp;hydadcr=8266_10375025&amp;tag=googhydr-20&amp;ref=pd_sl_9c1llkpxja_e   (49:35) “Twilight” - https://www.amazon.com/Twilight-Saga-Book-1/dp/0316015849   (51:06) My purpose in life   (53:50) How do I know if this is for me or not?   (54:50) How I got over my identity crisis   (56:45) Success?   (1:02:44) LIGHTNING ROUND   (1:04:37) Kim Burrell - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Burrell   (1:06:48) Less of / More of   (1:07:17) Golden Rule   — SHOW CREDITS —   Host/Producer: Ben Chung - https://www.instagram.com/btek_benchung Producer: Mike Fallorina - https://www.instagram.com/mikefal Producer: Jeremy Lai - https://www.instagram.com/jdl2012 https://www.kinjaz.com/podkast  https://www.kinjazpodkast.com  https://www.instagram.com/kinjazpodkast  https://www.twitter.com/kinjazpodkast  https://www.facebook.com/kinjazpodkast
