    BIOGRAPHY After establishing himself with his 2017 EP In Tongues and first full-length studio album BALLADS 1, released in October of 2018, Joji returns in 2020 with Nectar, a project he describes as having “a sense of urgency but calm.” That’s precisely the feeling of “Gimme Love,” a two-part song that begins at a feverish but steady pace before drifting off to a dreamy place at its midway point. Trusting himself has resulted in billions of streams and YouTube views, sold-out shows and festival appearances, and his debut late-night TV performance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. On The Tonight Show, Joji performed “Run,” his highest-charting single on the Billboard Hot 100 and the first single from Nectar. A propulsive wallow in fresh loneliness after a breakup, “Run” features some of Joji’s most intense vocals—he flexes his falsetto over driving guitar and drums that would fill an arena. As in the video for “Gimme Love,” the visual for “Run” illustrates the desire for escape, as Joji scrambles to exit a limousine that appears to be endless. The promise of something else keeps him moving. A restless creator, fluent in multiple mediums, Joji will take listeners to someplace unexpected with Nectar when it arrives on September 25. DID YOU KNOW….. ● Joji has headlined the Head In The Clouds Festival in Los Angeles (25K+ attendees) and performed at major global festivals including Lollapalooza, Reading and Leeds, and We The Fest. This year, Joji was slated to perform at Coachella and headline Madison Square Garden.

The purpose of this research paper is to analyze how and to ​ ​ what extent parental expectations, peer pressure, and levels of self-identity affect the career outcomes Asian Americans in their pursuit of music careers. The data analyzed consisted of five personal interviews, all of whom are involved in music production and/or performance. It was concluded that familial pressure impacted participants more so than peer pressure in their adolescence and self-identity became a more influential factor in adulthood.

ADMISSIONS TEAM INTRODUCES YOUTUBE CHANNEL written by Guest October 9, 2020 Bob Plunket and Julea Bartch pose separately from isolation and quarantine in a composite image. (Composited images of Bob/Julea by Namon Pope) Harding Admissions introduced a YouTube channel this fall, managed by junior Bob Plunket and senior Julea Bartch, to supplement in-person campus tours and fulfill their roles as student ambassadors, rebranding themselves as “digital ambassadors.” For several years, students on campus have had the opportunity to lead tour groups of potential students as student ambassadors. The goal of these tours was to offer a more personal student perspective. However, due to the presence of COVID-19 and the changes made to Bison Days and other college visit opportunities, the admissions office has had to adjust this process. This new digital platform allows students from all over the world to encounter different aspects of Harding from their homes. The channel’s objective is to avoid creating any type of curated image and instead be as genuine as possible.
