Episode 22 - Self Identity Through Music ft. Juno Roome

Migrating from South Korea to America at the age of 10, Juno Roome was struggling to conform to American society while retaining everything that he learnt back in his homeland. Yet despite the difficult transition period and the trials associated with it, Juno found solace through one medium: music.

Making music since a formative age, Juno was able to cultivate his own identity despite the cultural differences, and eventually forge his own path. Now as a full-fledged musician specializing in dream pop with a rapidly expanding audience, Juno has a singular objective in his craft: to connect and make others feel at home.

Learn more about the journey of Juno Roome in our latest episode of Back At It.

P.S. this episode is in collaboration with his own podcast, ryan gosling is gonna die before us, probably. This will also serve as their pilot episode. Congrats on the milestone and welcome to the podcasting space 🎉
