Yoodoo Park, known by his stage name GRMLN, is a Japanese-American musician.
Park was born in Kyoto, Japan and raised in Southern California. Park started recording and producing music during his early years under the moniker GRMLN. Even though the project started off as an experiment for recording, Park's songs quickly picked up internet buzz, getting written up by many popular music blogs in the US and the UK, including DIY Magazine. (interview with Prefix Magazine [1] ) Park was signed to Carpark Records [2] (Washington, D.C.) during his first year in college (at the age of 18) with the release of Park's first EP Explore. GRMLN's first album, Empire, was recorded at Different Fur Studios in San Francisco, California. Empire was released on June 4, 2013 via Carpark Records. GRMLN's second album, Soon Away, was released on September 16, 2014 also via Carpark Records. [2]
GRMLN has toured and supported popular acts in the indie/rock scene including Geographer, Yuck, Born Ruffians, and Tijuana Panthers. After signing to Carpark Records, Park has released Explore (2012), Empire (2013) and Soon Away (2015) with the release of singles that were never released through vinyl ("Night Racer", "Void"). Park has since self-released Discovery, Out of Disorder, Afraid Of..., Explore II, Impressions From The Dark, Year of Isolation, Heavenly Bodies, Is It Really That Strange?, Non Classical, Goodbye, World, Morning Star, and Oni. Park has been cited as producer and mixer for all GRMLN albums released so far. Park's songs have been used in shows some including ABC's Revenge , Netflix's Shadowhunters , AMC+'s Pantheon , and Hulu's Difficult People . The most notable appearance of his work was included in the major gaming franchise 'Forza Horizon 2' [3] which used the song "Teenage Rhythm" from GRMLN's album Empire (2013).
Park has since then self-released myriad records slowly gaining his reputation as a prolific artist.[ citation needed ]
