Jason Chu, Grandmaster of The Model Minority Report has been been writing

Jason Chu, Grandmaster of The Model Minority Report has been been writing songs that talk about life in Beijing: both the expat experience and the local lives that he’s come in contact with while living in the city.

Remember Jason Chu?!

The following song is the first track off his new EP “Goodbye, Beijing”. It will be released on 4/21 at grandmaster.bandcamp.com. He’ll also be throwing a release party/music video screening/farewell concert in Beijing’s 798 art district, including the second music video from the project: ONE CHILD, a song dealing with China’s controversial One-Child Policy, if anyone would like to attend!!

The song is titled, “City of the North”, a letter to Beijing in all its difficulty, challenges and unexpected beauty. It showcases a day in his life and stars the faces and lives that intersect in this explosion of culture: the students, migrant workers, foreigners, old-timers, and more.
