Bio:
DJ Joseph Hahn is far and away the most creative member of Linkin Park. Hahn isn’t just “that guy in the back” behind his turntables at concerts, he’s also infamous for some of LP’s trademark, unique music videos. From flying whales in “In The End” to long-legged elephant-spider hybrids in “Somewhere I Belong”, Joe always finds ways to make the music videos he directs memorable, intriguing, and eye-catching.
Joe’s cinematic and artistic skills were honed at Pasadena, California’s Art College of Design. It was at this college where he was recruited by fellow attendee Mike Shinoda to join the group Xero. Joe and Mike helm the artistic direction of Linkin Park, from music videos, to album art and stage designs.
When not on tour or working behind the camera with Linkin Park, Joe follows his ambitions as a director for other projects. Mr. Hahn’s been credited for directing music videos for Static-X (”Cold”), Story of the Year (”Anthem of our Dying Day”), and Alkaline Trio (”Time To Waste”). During the summer of 2004, Joe bought the rights to film his first full-length movie, an adaptation of China Mieville’s “King Rat”. The film is currently in it’s pre-production phase with no known release date. Hahn also plans to premiere his short film “The Seed” at the Sundance Film Festival in early 2006.
Joe’s family is of Korean descent, and he was born in Glendale, California. He recently opened a small clothing store in Los Angeles’ fashion district called “Suru”. He’s notoriously the least sociable member of Linkin Park.
