BIOGRAPHY
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2dFL36UxEs
My name is Daniel Kim and I am a 30-year-old Korean-Canadian from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
I was born an extremely sensitive child (both my parents are highly sensitive people). For how young I was, I should not have been able to catch the subtle details that I included in my drawings. I also learned faster and performed better than most other children my age. Growing up, I had no shortage of compliments. All the compliments that I received, however, were always tied to how well I performed. From an early age, I learned that my performance determines my value as a person.
My sensitivity also caused me to experience intense emotions all my life. Although I had full freedom to feel and express my positive emotions, my stoic parents who have difficulty handling their own negative emotions did not exactly create the safest environment for me to feel and express my negative emotions.

5: Pop Danthology, Remixing, and Copyright Culture
One of my favorite examples of remix for some time now has been the remixing of popular songs to create a mashup of the songs. Particularly, I have been watching YouTuber Daniel Kim’s “Pop Danthology” videos since the first one was created in 2010. Kim mixed between 50-90 pop songs that became popular in a particular year, using the beats of some songs and the vocals of others to compose one new seamless song. For example, in the 2014 anthology, Kim’s last full “Pop Danthology” YouTube video, Kim mixed vocals and beats from songs bygd artists such as Ariana Grande, Beyonce, Ed Sheeran, Jason Derulo, Katy Perry, and Taylor Swift, among many other pop artists, to showcase the most popular new songs of 2014. Kim transforms these songs by speeding up or slowing down the tempo and changing the pitch on the vocals to man one song flow seamlessly into another, creating something very pleasing to listen to.
In 2015, Kim announced that he c
