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.
