Frison’s ‘Daydream’ EP: An Interview

Jake Jeong, better known as Frison, is an electronic music producer based in Los Angeles. His music has a unique sound that blends various styles and influences, making him a rising talent in the industry. His recent EP, ‘Daydream,’ is a testament to his dedication and evolution as an artist.

The Inspiration Behind ‘Daydream’

Frison describes ‘Daydream’ as a project that took years to complete. The EP reflects his personal journey to reach his full potential as a musician. It showcases his love for electronic music and is influenced by artists like Madeon, Flume, and Porter Robinson, as well as jazz, funk, and orchestral music.

The artwork for the EP, created by Ishaq Fashim, complements each song’s title with a dazzling color scheme.

Frison’s Live Performances and DJ Sets

Frison envisions his live performances incorporating keyboards, his main instrument. While he enjoys the idea of DJing, he wants to keep his live sets and DJ sets distinct. Live sets would better reflect his artistry, whereas DJ sets would have a darker, club-oriented focus.

Cultural Influences and Creative Process

Growing up in Korea and Hong Kong, then moving to America for college, Frison’s cultural background is a mix of Asian and American influences. His musical style is largely influenced by Western electronic music he listened to during his teenage years.

Frison’s favorite track, “Galaxy,” took the longest to create. He usually starts with the drop and works backward, but this track involved experimenting and replacing an earlier concept. The lyrics capture the emotions he experienced during a period of low productivity, transitioning to his current mindset of greater confidence.

Motivation and Gratitude

Frison’s motivation stems from a desire for improvement and a passion for electronic music. He’s inspired by other producers and eternally grateful for his family and friends’ unwavering support.
