KBCS DJ Appreciation: Tracy Yang
Program and airtime: K-Wave, Fridays @ 9pm
KBCS is excited for Tracy Yang to bring K-Pop and this fresh sound to the KBCS airwaves and listening community. Tracy shares more with our DJ KBCS Questionnaire
THANK YOU, TRACY!
How long have you been hosting your show?
I have been hosting K-Wave since March 2024, so about 9 months. I have so much fun sharing my love of K-Pop with KBCS listeners!
What song or album do you most identify with, which inspired your energy to be a DJ?
Hmm….currently, I am loving Babymonster’s 1st full length album, Drip. Babymonster also serves as K-Wave’s opening background track. J I like to play music that makes people want to get up and dance or feel happy and I always want to dance whenever I hear Babymonster!
Your most recent concert:
I just saw Usher at the Climate Pledge Arena! It was a SPECTACULAR show! I have a wish list full of artists that I want to see live in concert and Usher was on that list. So glad I had the opportunity to check that off my list!
Recent Feature film or a Favorite film:
My favorite movie of all time is Sleepless in Seattle. I know, I know. Super cliché, but hey, it ended up bringing me to the area!
Favorite recommended song or album for the evening:
D.O.’s 3rd Mini Album “Blossom” – you will especially love it if you’re an acoustic music junkie like me or you want a nice chill evening.
If you’re in the mood for something upbeat or want something to hype you up before you head out for a fun evening – Karina’s (aespa) solo track “UP.”
Favorite recommended song or album for sunset:
DAY6 – You Were Beautiful – A heartbreaking power ballad that is a K-Pop classic.
Favorite recommended song or album for the morning:
Young K’s “Bungee Jumping” if you want something light and mid-tempo. Or, if you’re like me and you like dancing the moment you get out of bed, NCT Dream’s “Hello Future.”
Favorite recommended song or album for dawn:
Bang Yedam’s 2nd Mini Album “Good Vibes” – I mean, ‘nuff said. The title of the album says it all!
What album do you love or really enjoy that might surprise your listeners?
Prince’s 1988 album “Lovesexy.” Yep, I’m a Prince fan! I’m from the Twin Cities area though so, this should come as no surprise. Something I really miss about living in the Twin Cities is hearing Prince’s music wherever I went.
What album do you feel changed your life?
S.E.S’s 2nd Album “Dreams Come True.” If I never heard that song or that album, I don’t think I would have become a K-Pop fan.
Pen, typewriter, computer, device: My phone! I can do nearly everything on it, and I must have it on me at all times.
Favorite 21st Century read (book, poem, essay, writing):
“The Latehomecomer” by Kao Kalia Yang – As a first-generation Hmong American, this book was very impactful for me. Reading it played a big part in why I decided to return to school to finish my undergraduate degree. If you like books about culture or want to learn more about the Hmong, I highly recommend reading this book.
Favorite piece of art:
Auguste Rodin’s “The Thinker.” The beauty and sophistication in its simplicity is like none other to me.
A favorite quote or song that keeps you going:
“Good things take time; better things take a little longer.” – Sanhita Baruah
I love this quote. I have it on a post-it note next to my computer. I’m not the most patient person so seeing that quote reminds me to practice patience.
