As the lead singer and primary songwriter of the Caulfields, John Kim Faye was one of the only mixed-race Asian American frontmen to sign a major record contract in the alternative rock heyday of the 1990’s. In an era that preceded K-Pop - and even the rise of the internet - Faye’s personal journey did not lead to superstardom. Instead, The Yin and the Yang of it All is a memoir about the discovery of a voice, a tribe, and a musical ethnicity that runs far deeper than his Korean / Irish roots.
Bookended by the loss of his father against the backdrop of his tumultuous childhood in the post-Vietnam 70’s and his mother’s tragic passing in 2012, Faye’s story weaves a tapestry of revealing moments as told from his unique perspective on the cusps of identity, race, and fame.
AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE 4/4/23.
