Youn Sun Nah

Youn Sun Nah was born and raised in Seoul in a voice-loving family; her father was a choirmaster and her mother a musical actress. She learned to play the piano as a child but concentrated on her general studies until she graduated from Konkuk University with a degree in Arts in 1992. The following year, she was invited by the Korean Symphony Orchestra to sing gospel songs. She made her first steps on record and on stage.

She finally decided to go back to school to study music and singing in depth. A Francophile and a song lover, she came to Paris in the autumn of 1995
