I heard a story a few years ago about a famous singer in Korea who has one Korean parent and one black parent. I only remember a small part about the story I was listening to, but I think she said she was treated badly growing up because of her race, but is now famous and admired. I saw her on tv the other night and it reminded me of that story. Does anyone know her name? I think it's an interesting story and I want to look up more information and listen to some of her music.

She's been around a long time. She was originally in Uptown, then she was Tashannie, then she went solo as T. She's married to Tiger JK (or is it DJ Shine?) of Drunken Tiger fame.

There's another. She appears on commercials. She is half Korean/half Spanish American. She usually appears wearing a low cut top dancing in fountain.

That's Jessica Gomes. She's Australian, and doesn't have any Korean in her. Her father is of Portuguese descent and her mother is from Singapore.

The few times I've heard her actually sing I wasn't impressed. She just shouts out in a big bombastic R'n'B workout. Not much subtlety or art. Just like a poorman's Tina Turner during her big-hair, stomping thighs, late 80's era.
