Mike Chun, better known as VERSEATILE, is a Korean American rapper, singer, songwriter, and funny man that has shared the honor of be amongst the 50 finalists across the U.S. for Missy Elliot’s Road to Stardom television show on UPN back in 2003. Fast forward to last year, he was one of the 10 finalists from L.A. to compete in a Korean reality show, Superstar K by MNET.
Most recently, Chun is starting off 2012 by doing things bigger and better! Earlier this week, he dropped “by far proudest video†he’s been involved in: “Dreamchaserâ€.
A track that’s personally really special to him, Dreamchaser speaks to the notion that “we all chase dreams, but sometimes it takes the hard route to realize we were chasing after the wrong one.â€
Making a name for himself on YouTube, he is gearing towards mainstream recognition. Originally from Chicago, and currently residing 
in Los Angeles, CA, he juices talent all over! Reinterring a shout out video he did for his favorite rap group “Slaughter House†and to speak on behalf of my thoughts of his skills: “For every bar he spits. You feel how hard he hits.†Definitely not allergic to haters in the game, “Brush Em Off†is one of my favorite tracks from his latest album “Worlds Apart†(Produced by J-Phonics).
I got the chance to sit down with… my computer desk – and hit Mike up with some questions so you can learn a little more about this up and coming talented artist. Check it out:
