BACKGROUND

153/Joombas Music Group founder and executive producer Hyuk Shin is a decorated music producer and entrepreneur, who has had a long standing history of success in entertainment.

His first placement as a music producer was with global teenage phenom Justin Bieber, with the RIAA-certified triple-platinum record “One Less Lonely Girl.” The song peaked at #16 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart, making Shin the first-ever Korean-born producer to chart on Billboard. The song gained the attention of labels in his home country of South Korea, who reached out to him in hopes of getting their own global hit song.
