Welcome to the KOOLIKEDAT Podcast. My name is Koo Chung. Some of you might remember me as a singer-songwriter back in the day, but when I stopped doing music, it felt like I’d lost my identity altogether. Over time, I realized that people are so much more than what they do, and I’m grateful for the time I spent away from music because it revealed to me who I really was apart from it. On this podcast, I talk about things and ideas I LIKE, and if I’m lucky - WITH the actual people behind them. Some might say: ‘never meet your heroes’, but my quest is to do the exact opposite of that. I want to talk to as MANY people I'm a fan of as possible, to get to know them beyond their craft, and to hear about what makes them tick, and what makes them so KOOLIKEDAT.

Tim Ouyang (Tim Be Told) || Part 2 || Singer, Songwriter, Producer, Serenader
Part 2 with our guest: Tim Ouyang
Tim Ouyang (Tim Be Told) - is simply one of the most talented singer/songwriters I know, hands down. He has the voice of an angel. If music is a snapshot of Tim’s inner world, he truly has a beautiful mind and heart.
His latest musical offering, “Watching Over You” can be found on the compilation album that just released this month - called SERENADE - “To unsung queer youth who feel unseen, unwelcome, unloved. This is our serenade to you”
https://open.spotify.com/track/62faQwPVmDFJ8JqX8sDij8?si=82e16d0e283e4903
On episodes 7 & 8, Tim shares his story about coming out in 2017, and unpacks what that meant for him in his life and his music career - and of course we talk about a whole lot more (including his side-business Bay On A Budget)!

Customer Reviews
Love this podcast!!!!
Truth be told, I love this Podcast!
At first I thought it was maybe because I know you both, but reality is that the topics you discuss with your guests, and each other, and they way you approach them are so relatable snd relevant to me. And super fun and deep at the same time.
And by the way, best advice I ever received is “never trust a fart”! 😊
Fantastic podcast!
I often forget how talented Koo is but am constantly reminded after each episode everything he is capable of doing (and doing it exceptionally). While there are so many podcasts out there in the world these days, this one is such an intimate one as he does this with his good friend Katie as his cohost (she is also amazing, by the way). The pandemic has made my world much smaller; however, this podcast brings me in on convos with people who I otherwise would never meet or know of. It's an additional plus that he highlights people from the AAPI community, which allows me to relate on a deeper level. Looking forward to many more episodes!
Koo is such a great host!
Love the way Koo hosts! What a great podcast.
