My original name is Jae-Sang Park, so it's totally different.
We almost called the 'Portlandia' show 'Stumptown.' That was the original name.
My real name was Thomas Jones Woodward, so I dropped the Woodward.
A nickname is not supposed to be your only name. I miss Jennifer a bit.
Cordae is like my government name. I was like, just be myself. What's a better name than the name my mom gave me, or my pops gave me?
I wanted to honor my heritage and where I came from and keep the name. It was a tough decision to even change the spelling of it phonetically. I wanted to keep it as close to the original as it can be.
I secretly had this name 'Nancy and Beth' come into my mind, and I thought, 'Oh my God, that's such a funny, interesting, weird name for a band.'
It was a boy's name first.
