Fluxus Music ‘s popular trio Clazziquai are up for Weekly Idol. Clazziquai aka Clazziquai Project are an experimental, electronica band who debuted in 2004 with their EP “Instant Pig”. Prior to their official debut, they were an underground band and released unofficial albums online in 2001 where most of their music was spread through word of mouth.
The original lineup for Clazziquai was leader DJ Clazzi / Kim Sung Hoon who is charge of composing and mixing plus siblings Alex / Chu Hon Gon and Christina who were the main vocalists. Christina however left the band to return to Canada and was replaced by musical theatre actress Horan / Choi Soo Jin who is the elder sister of SNSD‘s Sooyoung.
The band’s biggest career breakthrough was when their songs “She Is and “Be My Love” were featured on the popular Kdrama My Lovely Kim Sam Soon. As well as releasing seven studio albums and four remix albums so far, Clazziquai collaborate with other famous artists such as Japan’s popular electronica act m-flo but also continue to lend their music to OSTs for films (e.g. Crave You for the US film “Playing It Cool”) and other dramas such as Dream High 2 with a song Romeo and Juliet.
