    Southway is a Electronic Synthpop duo consisting of Shaun Jason from Bristol (UK) and Shiun Kim from Seoul (South Korea). The two met dancing at a club on Christmas Eve in Seoul. Shaun started Southway initially as a solo project when he was couch-surfing his way across the US., and after spending many years living in Venice Beach, Los Angeles and San Francisco, he moved to Seoul.

    Having previously released the first two Southway albums ‘Electroganic’ and ‘Somapop’, Shaun continued writing and recording whilst touring South Korea and Asia, which led to the completion of the third album, aptly titled 'Suitcase'. It was at this time when Shaun met Shiun, who was training as a theatrical performance artist. This is when they first started playing music and touring together, releasing their first album as a duo called 'The World Outside'.

    From the duo’s formation, they have been keeping active in the UK, Europe and Asia to build a presence in multiple regions simultaneously. Since they met, Southway have been playing shows at clubs & festivals in the UK, Europe and Asia, including the Hyundai Card Super Concert at the Olympic Stadium in Seoul with Muse, Metallica and Iggy Pop, Shenzhen Midi Festival in Shenzhen (China), Bristol Harbour Festival (UK), Edinburgh International Festival (UK), Mumaland Festival in Zhuhai (China) plus many more.

    Southway continues to spread their music, with numerous radio and TV appearances to their credit, including a 30 minute TV special on EBS TV in South Korea. Their brand new full-length album called 'Exit Neon' is now complete, which will be released in 2025. With thousands of performances to their credit, the duo is excited about what's to come.
