Meet BoA!


I am not a huge fan of her previous work, but you should expect to hear her name a bunch in the coming months. She will be debuting her first US single "Eat You Up" (Produced by Bloodshy & Avant!!!) featuring Flo Rida on October 14th. Here is some back ground info on her and a teaser clip of her first single's music video "Eat You Up":

Boa Kwon (born November 5, 1986), commonly known by her stage name BoA, is a Korean singer, active in both South Koreaand Japan. Born and raised in Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, BoA was discovered by SM Entertainment talent agents when she accompanied her older brother to a talent search. In 2000, after two years of training, she released ID; Peace B, her debut Korean album, under SM Entertainment. Two years later, she released her debut Japanese album, Listen to My Heart, under the Avexlabel.

BoA's multilingual skills (she speaks Japanese and conversational English along with her native Korean and has recorded songs in Mandarin Chinese) have contributed to her commercial success in South Korea and Japan and her popularity throughout Asia. She is one of only two non-Japanese Asians who have had million-selling albums in Japan and is one of only two artists to have six consecutive number-one albums on the Oricon charts.
