Jen Kwok Announces 'Songs For One Visual' EP
Musician and comedian Jen Kwok's Songs for One began as a live series where she performed daringly intimate, interactive concerts for one person at a time. Jen created the series in 2016 in the midst of the presidential elections and a string of violent attacks on queer people and people of color (Pulse nightclub shooting, the shootings of Philando Castile & Alton Sterling, etc.). Combining music, meditation and visual imagery, this series fostered real life human connection as an antidote to the disconnection and divisiveness created by the social and political climate at the time, as well as the effects of social media and the 24 hour news cycle. The series spread through word of mouth and Jen ultimately performed for over 100 people, one at a time!
