With my classical
piano background,
I have been writing and singing
bilingual folk and pop music in
English and Korean since I was 18
years old.
My music is influenced by
my experiences; growing up with family and friends in the countryside in the small town, Samga, Korea
and moving into a big America
city...
The song you are listening to,
"Flower Snow," was
written for my grandmother.
The hardworking, dusty farms,
of
my small hometown,
Samga are surrounded by beautiful Cherryblossom flowers, and fed by the Yangcheon river.
When my grandmother passed away
in April,
the cherryblossom flower petals
started
scattering everywhere in Samga
like
white snow in Spring.
I was very sad that I lost my
grandmother;
however, it was one of the
most beautiful moments that I have ever seen. I am so happy that all people can listen to this lovely story of my hometown
and picture the flower petals falling.
