Indie pop duo, sundial, is proof
that you don’t need a record label
or a large production team behind
you to create and share great
music with millions. Members Jisu
Kim, who’s Korean American, and
Dorothy Chan, who was born and
raised in Hong Kong, met in 2015
when they were both freshmen at
Berklee College of Music. They
began dating and, shortly after,
started making music together.
It’s hard to categorize sundial’s
music, as the duo’s styles range
from pop rock to R&B to folk and
possibly everything in between.
But their DIY, genre-agnostic
approach has garnered them over
60 million streams across
platforms.

Their latest EP, “the roaring
twenties”, provides a raw and
relatable narrative of their twenties
and the complex nuances of being
Asian in America. This has built an
unwaveringly loyal fanbase,
cementing them as vital voices for
this generation’s Asian-Americans.
Having shared the stage with NIKI
on a nationwide tour and
headlining sold-out shows at
renowned venues like Baby’s All
Right and The Echo, they're now
gearing up for a much-anticipated
performance at Lollapalooza
come fall 2024. Sundial's meteoric
rise in the music scene is
indomitable, marking them as the
definitive ones to watch.
