Eight-time Grammy award winner Anderson .Paak hopes he "got it right" with his directorial debut "K-Pops," saying he did his best to reflect the two cultures that make up his identity as the son of a Korean mother and African American father. "K-Pop," which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, is a coming-of-age film that tells the tale of BJ, a washed-up musician played by .Paak who takes a drumming gig on a South Korean reality show. BJ soon discovers he is the father of one of the contestants on the show, an aspiring musician played by 13-year old Soul Rasheed, .Paak's son in real life.
