About Tai Kim- Vocal
My name is Tai Kim. I am a Korean-Canadian multidisciplinary artist, whose focus over the last 15 years has been on original music and visual arts.
In 2009, I received well-known South Korean reggae artist Kimbanjang’s Korean-language reggae song “Culture Tree”, and have been collaborating with him since that time with our 4 -piece reggae ensemble RootsVibe. Several years later, in 2013, I brought Kimbanjang and another Korean reggae band, Windy City, to Toronto for Canadian Music Week; along with
Toronto band House of David Gang we performed a sold-out concert at Lula Lounge. RootsVibe have been performing in Toronto since 2010. As a visual artist, I have been part of many solo and group exhibitions; in July 2022 I mounted a group exhibition with fellow South Korean artists
Seok-yung Kim and Un-Sung Kim entitled “Peace, One Love, One Compassion” at Gallery 1313 in Toronto. RootsVibe performed at this exhibition’s closing show. My goal with this proposed project is to strengthen my artistic connection with Kimbanjang, and
to complete RootsVibe’s Korean-language album “Tiger Step”, which will be released simultaneously in Canada and South Korea and feature collaborations with Kimbanjang. The project will be released by South Korean reggae production company Eastern Standard Sounds.

RootsVibe Band의 보컬 타이 킴은 한국계 캐나다인으로, 지난 15년 동안 음악과 시각 예술에 걸친 다양한 분야에서 활동해온 예술가입니다. 그는 2009년에 한국의 레게 아티스트 김반장의 한국어 레게 곡 "Culture Tree"를 받고, 이후 김반장과 함께 RootsVibe라는 4인조 레게 밴드를 결성하여 협업을 이어오고 있습니다. 2013년에는 김반장과 한국 레게 밴드 Windy City를 캐나다로 초청해, Toronto의 Lula Lounge에서 매진된 공연을 선보였습니다. RootsVibe 밴드는 2010년부터 토론토에서 활발히 공연하고 있으며, 타이 킴은 시각 예술가로서도 다수의 개인전과 그룹전에 참여해왔습니다. 이번 프로젝트의 목표는 김반장과의 예술적 협력을 강화하고, RootsVibe의 한국어 앨범 "Tiger Step"을 캐나다와 한국에서 동시에 발매하는 것입니다. 이 앨범은 한국 레게 프로덕션인 Eastern Standard Sounds에서 발매 됩니다. 밴드의 드러머이자 보컬인 콜린 에드워즈는 2009년에 RootsVibe를 결성했고, 2021년에 첫 앨범 "Tiger Step"을 녹음하기 시작했습니다. 기타리스트 루카스 에드워즈는 2009년부터 밴드의 일원으로, 블루스, 재즈, 록에 영향을 받아 독특한 기타 사운드를 선사하고 있습니다. 베이스 기타리스트 존 맥켄지는 원래 기타 연주자였지만, 2021년부터 RootsVibe에서 베이스를 연주하며 밴드에 특별한 분위기를 더하고 있습니다. 그의 음악적 영향은 록과 블루스에서 비롯됩니다. RootsVibe 밴드는 "One love"의 정신을 바탕으로 레게 음악을 통해 강렬한 드럼과 베이스 사운드를 선보이고 있습니다.
