David Choi, a 24 year old Gyopo from California, became famous on Youtube. He is an unsigned musical artist. His 2nd album will be released soon in South Korea.

Choi will perform at the Welcomm Theater from May 20 to 22. Tickets cost from 35,000 to 40,000 won.

Choi didn't always dream of being a singer/songwriter. He heard someone in his high school class play an electronica song they wrote. Then he wondered if he could do the same. Then he composed his first piece.

Choi continued to compose music and entered contests. He won most of them including the John Lennon Songwriting Contest for Teens and the David Bowie Mash-Up Contest in 2004.

He got his big break when he entered into a 2 year contract with Warner Chappell Music. He was suppose to write 10 songs each year, but ended up writing 100.

Then he turned to Youtube. He wrote a song entitled "YouTube Love Song". It was featured on the main page and received over 1 million views in the first week. He just posted the video for fun and didn't know it would be such a big hit.

He posts videos where he sings, performs and travels. He is the 10th most subscribed musician on YouTube and the 69th most subscribed overall. He has over 300,000 subscribers. He has more subscribers than Beyonce, Usher and Madonna.
