About Me
South Korean modern jazz singer and composer Song Yi Jeon is known for her hypnotic voice that is likened to a malleable wordless instrument, as well as for her incomparable improvisations. She studied classical composition at the University of Music and Fine Art in Graz, Austria, and jazz vocals at the Academy of Music in Basel, Switzerland, and Boston’s Berklee College of Music in the US where she developed her unique sound. At Berklee, she was the inaugural Quincy Jones CJ&E fellow and was also awarded the Billboard Endowed Award. Among the many clubs and festivals where the Song Yi Jeon Quintet has performed is New York’s famous Blue Note. In 2015, the Quintet released the mini-album Straight, while in 2018 Jeon released her first album, Movement of Lives. Song Yi is recently nominated by the Rolex Mentor & Protégé Arts Initiative Programme 23-24 to work with five-time Grammy winner Ms. Dianne Reeves.
