Iammedic spaceship
IAMMEDIC is an Electro Pop band originally formed in 2010 by leader, Enik Lin as a solo side project following the dissolution of his previous band and enlisted former Burning Tree Project co-member Andre Harris, and lifelong friend Danny Park. The band got its name from Lin’s personal struggles through which he came to believe humanity is sick and God is the only healer. The ‘IAM’ beginning is the name God refers to Himself as when talking to Moses in Exodus 3:14; the 'MEDIC' part identifies God as the ultimate healer though not to be mistaken as a religious musical group.

Early Start
After uploading a demo recording of track "Unexplained" on Myspace, the band was scouted and signed to Los Angeles-based record label, Authentik Artists. On October 5, 2010, Authentik Artists released IAMMEDIC's debut EP entitled "A Tale of Abigale Withers". The EP was recorded, and produced by Enik Lin, Mark Maxwell (Millionaires (group), Boys Like Girls, Call The Cops), and Ian Kirkpatrick (Call the Cops). Mixed by Grammy nominated engineer, Mark Needham (The Killers, Neon Trees, Sick Puppies, Cobra Starship) the EP was featured on the front pages of iTunes, iLike, Purevolume, and Clear Channels New and Discover. In December 2010, IAMMEDIC locked an endorsement deal with Heydey Footwear.
Later in 2010, Lin decided to take the band full-time and enlisted members Danny Park and Andre Harris, and Dj Yup. The group quickly gained notoriety after being asked to open up for K-Pop sensations, JYJ, while on their New York City tour date, which ultimately did not press through due to JYJ's P1 visas being denied for their US tour.
