MUSIC VIRTUOSO! (Sort of)

Please get familiar with the man, Joe Hahn. He is a serious inspiration for someone like myself. Hahn, differs from a lot of the virtuosos I've chosen to blog about in the past because, well, he's a DJ! But his track record is extensive aside from DJ-ing. He is multifaceted in many areas in media, aside from being the Disk Jockey for the American Rock band "Linkin Park". What amazes me most is that he went to Art School with Mike Shinoda!!!! (Art School FTW!). But in all seriousness, once I found out a band member from Linkin Park ACTUALLY DIRECTED the video for the song "Breaking the Habit", I was astonished. Rarely do members within a music group posses the skills to multitask their creativeness, and actually do extremely well. Here's some more info on Mr. Hahn and some of his works...


Joe Hahn, better known as Mr. Hahn, (born March 15, 1977 in Dallas, Texas)[1] is an American turntablist and director best known as the DJ for the band Linkin Park.
Hahn joined Linkin Park, after meeting fellow band mate Mike Shinoda in art school, when the band was called Xero in 1996 as the band's turntablist. Since then, he has directed music videos for most singles of Linkin Park, with the exceptions of "One Step Closer", "Crawling", "Faint", and "Given Up".
As a proficient music video director, Joe has not only directed videos for his band Linkin Park, but he has also directed videos for Static-X, Story of the Year, Xzibit, X-Ecutioners, and Alkaline Trio.
Hahn has also done some special effects for the TV show The X-Files. Along with the special effects for the movie Sphere (film) and TV miniseries Frank Herbert's Dune[2].
In 2005 to 2006, while bandmates Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda were busy with side projects, Hahn shot a short film called The Seed in Los Angeles, California, released in March 2008 and premiered at the Pusan International Film Festival. Hahn also appeared with a minor role in a short film by Filip Engström called Little Pony. In 2005, Hahn opened a concept retail store SURU, located on the famous Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles.
