Hwang Puha selected as ‘Artist of the Month’ for March by Melon Track Zero

Singer-songwriter Hwang Fu-ha opens up about the background that earned him the unique title ‘singing pastor’ and his own musical beliefs.

Kakao Entertainment's music platform Melon will tell various music stories with singer-songwriter Hwang Pu-ha, who was selected as 'Artist of the Month' in March through the indie music revitalization project 'Track Zero' at 10:30 am on Melon on the 2nd. It is released at the station.

Folk musician Huang Fuha appeared on Melon Station's 'Track Zero' on this day and told the story behind becoming a 'singing pastor', the meaning behind his name, the reason he dreamed of becoming a singer-songwriter, and a playlist of hidden masterpieces. Next, they plan to communicate with listeners by explaining in detail about 'Two Faces', their third full-length album released last year and an album containing an aesthetic interpretation of the Book of Exodus.

Huang Fuha, who is active in both religious life and music, said, “I think beauty, love, etc. are like ‘gods,’ but to contain them, you need a vessel. “That’s why ‘song’ is a window through which we can see God,” he said, seriously revealing his own music philosophy.

In addition, the 'Track Zero' playlist containing the famous songs released so far by Hwang Pu-ha will also be released on Melon on this day. A total of 15 tracks of music with various moods, including 'First Heart', 'Colorless Dawn', and 'Motion Sickness' featuring Kim Sa-wol, are expected to leave a great impression on listeners.

In addition, through an interview with 'Melon Magazine', Huang Puha revealed the reasons and episodes that led to the unconventional challenge with her third album 'Two Faces', and also talked about how she continues to think about how to bring out the reality called 'beauty'. I tell you.

Meanwhile, since last February, Melon has been releasing 'Artist of the Month' in the first week of every month and 'New Songs Recommended by Track Zero' in the fourth week, in addition to existing 'Track Zero' programs such as Playlist. Six ‘Track Zero’ expert committee members, consisting of critics and musicians, participate in the selection of ‘Artist of the Month’ and ‘Track Zero Recommended New Songs’. ‘Artist of the Month’ is for artists who have released music in Korea, and ‘Track Zero Recommended New Songs’ are selected from songs released within the past 3 to 4 months. Artists selected as 'Artist of the Month' and 'Track Zero Recommended New Songs' all have the opportunity to appear on Melon Station's 'Track Zero' and introduce their music world in detail to fans.
