Singer on President Obama's playlist coming to Seoul
Indie singer-songwriter Faye Webster to perform at Musinsa Garage in July
American indie singer-songwriter Faye Webster will hold her first concert in Korea.
On Thursday, concert promoter MPMG announced that Webster would perform on July 23 at Musinsa Garage in Mapo-gu, Seoul.
Webster began singing at 14 and released her debut album at 16, showcasing her talent at an early age. Over the years, she has crafted a distinctive sound that blends indie pop, alternative country and R&B. Her 2021 album "I Know I'm Funny Haha" reached the top 10 on the US Billboard Folk Chart. Notably, the album's "Better Distractions" was included in former US President Barack Obama's list of favorite songs that year.
Webster continues to explore various genres and push creative boundaries. In March 2024, she released the collaborative single "Lego Ring" with rapper Lil Yachty, her high school friend.
She is also gaining recognition as a live performer, securing spots in the lineups of major global music festivals, including the 2024 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and the 2025 Fuji Rock Festival.
Tickets for her Seoul concert will go on sale at 10 a.m., April 2 on Interpark Ticket.
