wave to earth

 Wave to earth is a three-member Korean indie band under WAVY. Comprised of guitarist/songwriter Daniel Kim, drummer Dongkyu Shin and bassist John Cha, the group debuted with the single "wave" in 2019, followed by EPs "wave 0.01" and "summer flows 0.02" in 2020. While there are three official members, the band also includes session members Jo Jung-geun, Jeon-min and Hong Seung-gi.

Even though, wave to earth is based in Seoul, South Korea, most of their songs are in English.

Since their start, members have written, recorded, mixed and mastered their tracks. They are directly involved with art direction from album art and video to fashion.

When it comes to who they are, wave to earth is best represented through its name. "One day, I saw the biggest wave in my life, and I thought let's make a big wave with my friends," said Daniel.

That wave is now rising high as the band is achieving and reaching their goals, including touring in the U.S.

In May, wave to earth announced their first tour in the U.S. and Canada. Initially, the tour had 12 dates. All shows sold out on the first day of ticket sales. This prompted the group to upgrade several venues and add new dates due to high demand – most of which have sold out again.

"Nobody expected we could sell shows," said John. "The first time we saw the shows are sold out, it felt surreal."

The tour also marks the first time the members are visiting the U.S. as a group, and they are excited to go to various parts of the country. "It was our dreams, and dreams come true," said John.

On the U.S. leg, wave to earth will make stops in 16 cities, including Chicago, Atlanta, Washington, and Berkeley, California.
