Quick Facts
Quote: Every step of the way is a work of art we are creating.
Creative Beginnings
Choi is the last person youd expect to be a content creator.
Digitally impaired and tech adverse, she describes herself as a more traditional pen-and-paper bang out of creative.
Despite her young age indicating her as a digital native, she was anything but.
She did not grow up tapping into the virtual sphere of social media.
Instead, her life in South Korea was centered around something more tangible: performance.
This love for music and unique singing ability saved her family many decades before her birth.
Music is one of the reasons why my family is alive.
My grandparents were able to find their siblings through a music festival because they loved performing.
Music holds a special place in my heart.

Keeping in that creative tradition, her parents were both architects.
Choi describes her upbringing as design-oriented with a bent toward the creative.
Until she had an epiphany.
I think just realizing I really have one life… and spending time with myself…
I felt so emotionally naked, but I had to face these thoughts.
I knew if I looked back that I would regret not exercising the potential I saw in myself.
I think, for me, that was the inspiration and motivation to take the first step.
She began as an art streamer until a music streamer raided her channel, sending dozens of viewers over.
She took it as a sign and traded her digital drawing tools for a microphone.
Now, her career is centered around making music and connecting with audiences with her voice.
The community on Twitch was the support group I needed to feel safe enough to perform, she said.
I say this often, but I feel like I lucked out on my community.
Storytelling is at the core of her appeal.
The Seolahh experience blends a passion for music with her knowledge of the brain and perceptions.
Compassion and hope are at the forefront of my persona at this point in life.
Its all about taking little steps, she said.
You dont have to see the whole staircase.
You just need to take that first step… and Im just one example of that.
