- Mike Park is a Korean American musician and progressive activist. His musical ventures include Skankin' Pickle for whom he both played the saxophone and sang, The Chinkees, The Bruce Lee Band, and most recently an acoustic solo project under his own name. After his time with Skankin' Pickle he went on to found Asian Man Records, a label which he has run out of his garage in California since 1996 with only help from his parents and friends. Asian Man Records supports mostly ska and punk bands. Park will support any band as long as it is "anti-racist, anti-sexist, and anti-prejudice". Park has used Asian Man Records to release his own music, in addition to providing a start for smaller bands to allow them to grow, including Less Than Jake, Alkaline Trio, and The Lawrence Arms. Park strives to offer affordable music and rejects mega-chains who overcharge for CDs. Park's most important goal though is to end hate and hate crimes. Because of his strong convictions, in 1999 he formed the Plea for Peace Foundation an organization whose aim is "to promote the ideas of peace through the power of music", something which Park has been trying to do with his own bands and with the help of other groups. Park was the impetus behind the Spring 1998 "Ska Against Racism" tour. The goal of the tour was to promote awareness about racism and raise money for anti-racism organisations such as the Museum of Tolerance. The national tour included The Toasters, Less Than Jake, the Blue Meanies, Mustard Plug, Five Iron Frenzy, MU330, Kemuri, and Mike Park himself.
- Mike Park ist ein koreanisch-amerikanischer Sänger und Songwriter. Seine bisherige Karriere begann im Herbst 1985 in seiner ersten Band Psychiatric Disorder. Jedoch verließ er diese Band ziemlich schnell und spielt im Folgenden für The Chinkees, The Bruce Lee Band und bei den Skankin’ Pickles, bei welcher er als Sänger und Saxophonist tätig war. Zudem führte er mehrere Solo Projekte unter seinem eigenen Namen. Mit den Skankin’ Pickles veröffentlichte Park insgesamt fünf Alben und spielte in über 14 Ländern in Amerika, Kanada, Asien und Europa. Nach der Auflösung von den Skankin’ Pickles formierte er 1996 das Ska- und Punk-Label Asian Man Records. Dieses entwickelte sich aus seinem Do-it-yourself-Label, welches er seit 1989 zu dritt aus der Garage seiner Eltern führte, die ausschließlich mit einem Telefon, einem Fax und zwei Computern ausgerüstet war. Vor allem setzte er sich in den Anfängen stark für Bands wie Less Than Jake, Alkaline Trio oder The Lawrence Arms ein. Park selbst unterstützt jede Band, solange sie "antirassistisch, antisexistisch und ohne Vorurteile" ist. Asian Man Records unterstützt bis jetzt über 50 Bands. Im November 2003 veröffentlichte Park sein erstes Solo-Album For the Love of Music. Zwei Jahre später erschien sein bisher letztes, akustisch gehaltenes Solo-Album North Hangook Falling. In seinen Songs beschäftigt sich Mike Park vornehmlich mit Politik, Rassismus und Krieg. 1999 gründete er die Plea for Peace Foundation, mit Sitz in San José, Kalifornien. Im Jahr 2007 verzichtet er auf Konzerte, um sich der Erziehung seiner Tochter zu widmen.
