June Yun, is an up-and-coming vocalist, composer, educator based in New York, Seoul and Berlin. Yun was born in South Korea and moved to the U.K. when she was five and spent her childhood in London. After graduating from college, Yun released a collaboration project debut single with a famous Korean singer from the 90s, Seunghwa Park. The whole project was sponsored by KBS, the biggest national broadcasting TV & Radio channel in Korea. After the release, she received many calls from record labels in Korea but she thought there was something missing in herself and her music so she moved to NYC to learn jazz, a new concept. Yun has explored and built up her own repertoire in jazz and composed originals, mostly influenced by traditional and modern jazz, free jazz and her very first music influence, classical music.
June Yun has studied and performed with some of the most influential musicians including Jean Baylor, Theo Bleckmann, Shai Maestro, Joel Ross, Ingrid Jensen, Amy London, Mike Moreno, Jeremy Manasia and Dr. Richard Harper. She has been writing and performing a wide range of music including her original music, traditional and modern jazz, contemporary pop and R&B, K-pop, classical music, Korean traditional music, film music, and musical theater. Yun has performed at some of the most well-known jazz clubs and halls in NYC including Dizzy’s Jazz at Lincoln Center, Smalls Jazz club, John Tishman Auditorium, Mercury Lounge, and more.
