James Han
James “Uzuhan” Han was born and raised in Washington, DC, and often worked at his family’s dry cleaning business. As a child, witnessing his parents interact with customers gave James insight into how the world viewed them and a desire to protect his family. It wasn’t until middle school that he discovered hip hop, allowing him to channel those feelings and connect with himself and his peers in a new way.
Today, James lives in Atlanta, Georgia recording music and building his career. He acknowledges having the ability to choose his own path was only possible by the sacrifices his parents made – something he’s grateful for. As he continues to navigate his career and life, he hopes to create content that builds bridges and fosters strong relations between Asian and Black communities in Atlanta.
Special thanks to Rayanne Williams of Atlanta, GA for helping coordinate this Legacy Project recording!
