Son of Paper

With 100 years of family-roots in San Francisco, Son of Paper (SOP) literally launched his career from a Chinatown rooftop. SOP weaves the stories of transforming personal and ancestral suffering into his Hip-Hop performances. The 28 year old Korean and Chinese American artist garners support from Bay Area non-profit communities, millions of views on Instagram and Rednote 小红书, and features on Mnet’s Show Me The Money and Dulé Hill’s PBS Special. His catalog has been synced to Pokemon Go Trailers, Concord Music, and several Asian American films. In the spirit of Anthony Bourdain, SOP dives into parts unknown to expand his sonic palette. Like his Chinese ancestors, who sailed biannually across the Pacific to establish trade, Son of Paper spends half the year in East and Southeast Asia— countries where he is often mistaken for a local. From Chinatown to China, Son of Paper carries the torch of resilience, ingenuity, and adaptability needed to lead a transpacific record label in 2025.
