Christopher's Backstory

Jeon Choi was born to Norijung Choi in Seoul, Korea on June 29th, 1998 around noon in a little wing of his hospital. His father wasn't noted, leaving him growing up with her incoming boyfriends. He was around five whenever she found her 'husband,' leading her to give Jeon up for adoption whenever he was five. A few months later, he was adopted by Alexander Ljung, the soon to be founder of Soundcloud, who was an Englishman then living in the United States. Jeon was there since Alexander's wife was unable to have her own children, but took interest in the bright boy after meeting him.

The then six year old was welcomed despite speaking little to no English, making him quite timid and soft. The person who helped him were his parents and an adopted brother, Michael, who had been from Oregon. Within their cheery family, they were surrounded by music and laugher. Although, Jeon went through a legal change to his name of Christopher Choi after being bothered by neighboring children over being foreign. Growing up in the United States until 2008 was easy for him, but Alexander flew to Berlin, Germany to work on business, which led to the creation of Soundcloud.

Thus, until 2015 or so, he grew up and began to take on rapping around ten. After this, Christopher was going to take on New York in hopes of becoming a rapper, but was instead presented with the chance of being Soundcloud's representative. He actually cried from pure happiness upon finding this out, which led him to pursuing his music career as a priority. To this day, he still goes to school online to earn a degree so that he may own his own label one day to help inspire other musicians and take over his adoptive father's business.
