PAUSE Meets: @jnrchoi “I’m here to make good art & keep it moving.” A person’s rise to fame is never a straight-forward one, and no two journeys are ever the very same, with that being especially evident in the case of one Jnr Choi. A true individual, the Gambian and London-residing musician has established himself as one of the most multi-faceted creatives in the game, with the model-come-musician making sure to put his stamp on everything he touches. “Talented, but in his own lane.” Jnr Choi’s mission statement seems simple enough, yet it begs more and more questions. What is talent nowadays? Can your talent spread across multiple creative domains? What is authentic? And what’s not? Tearing up the rule book, Jnr Choi makes sure to answer those questions in his own way, cruising through multiple lanes with this inimitable sense of assuredness. From touring with Grammy Award-winning SAINt JHN and attending a last-minute Met Gala, to discussing the importance of stepping stones and organic partnerships, 23-year-old Jnr Choi took PAUSE ‘To The Moon’ and back as he sat down to discuss what life looks like right now.
