NEW
YORK, May 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- On
April 30th, 2024, in celebration of
Mental Health Awareness Month and AAPI Heritage Month,
international award-winning classical pianist and pop-R&B
singer Janet Noh released
her newest record 'Oh Child' as well as its accompanying cinematic
music film production directed by Tiffany
Pham. As seen on Rolling Stone, Variety,
Deadline, Us Weekly, and The Hollywood
Reporter, the song has received critical acclaim.
'Oh Child' is now available on all streaming platforms.
Audiences worldwide can access it here on Noh's Official
Website, as well as Spotify, Apple, and more.
"'Oh Child' wrote itself. It poured out of me at a time when I
was parsing through my own childhood trauma and trying to let my
inner child know that she was safe. That she could accept love from
others and from herself," says Noh. "In working to bring this song
to life, I've gotten to collaborate with so many beautiful souls.
And in collaborating with them, I've found the exact healing that I
was looking for when I first sat at that piano. I've started to
open up my heart and accept my scars."
Noh collaborated with award-winning producer Akini Blake and instrumentalists Tiger Darrow,
Seoyeon Im, and David "Sub Q" Kawamura on the production of the
song. Noh also worked closely with her vocal mentor William Riley, who has been the vocal
performance advisor to Céline Dion, Whitney
Houston, Luciano Pavarotti, and Liza
Minnelli.
For the music film production, Noh brought onboard her childhood
friend and award-winning filmmaker Tiffany
Pham of production company Representation as the Director.
Additional film production team members include: Actress
Hannah Yoon, Cinematographer Kym
Pham, Editors Lucas Arruda and
Peter Nelson, and Co-Producers Jeesu
Park, Saemoon Yoon, and Yuma Sung. Special thanks is provided to
William Taing, Esther Noh, and Benjamin
Shaffer, as well as Korean American Family Service Center
(KAFSC) which supports survivors of domestic abuse.
"As childhood friends, it was a transformative experience to
visually capture the heartbeat of Janet's story, rooted in our deep
personal friendship. We put a lot of symbolism and thought behind
the color scheme, wardrobe, and even the equipment chosen to film
this production. For instance, we show Janet rehearsing 'Oh Child'
at home as an adult, struggling between her inner peace in white
and emotional turmoil in black. We then see her reach her
self-acceptance and self-love, as we watch her star performance at
a charity Gala event. The storyline of Janet as a child parallels
this journey," shares Pham.
"Because of the healing that 'Oh Child' has gifted me, I'm
yearning to share that same healing with others," shares Noh. "So
in an effort to support this mission, I'll be donating 100% of the
proceeds from the first year's release of 'Oh Child' to KAFSC."
At the 2024 KASFC Annual Gala, Noh provided a special guest
performance and speech announcing her donation.
