YANG YANG
_______________________
_______________________
Recently I discovered a new singer-songwriter
named Yang Yang. In her breakthrough song
"Life of Plenty" she describes how the simple
life we are given, living in a small town with
the blue sky, trees, flowers and nature is more
than enough for happiness. I love her songs
and sentiment so much. She's full of real heart
and deep feeling...nothing put on, just her kind
self.

Oh Ji-Eun and Siwa @ EBS Space (November, 2009) - "A Little Freedom"
______________________
______________________
SIWA
______________________
Siwa is the name of a desert in Egypt. It is also the name of a wonderful Korean singer with a pure voice and well-written, meaningful songs. When she sings, the air is filled with a gentle, human joy. I love all the songs she writes... pure poetry. Siwa creates a mood, then captivates, transfixes, mesmirizes and soothes our weary spirit, like no other... so quiet, still and crystal clear.
______________________

Siwa - "Little Things"
________________________
I love this song so much, so I translated the lyrics into English: "One day I thought to look inside my heart and see what little things might be hidden there, to find the dirt or dust in my mind and wipe it clean. Oh, the shoots spring up magically, just by the touch of sunlight, how beautiful to see. When touched by the sun, they too shine brightly. Now, nothing can keep them from growing up healthy and strong."

OH JI-EUN
______________________
______________________
________________________
Oh Ji-Eun is a Korean singer-songwriter who released a totally selfmade album in 2006 titled simply "Ji-Eun." She has a knack for writing beautiful love songs as well as songs which run the gamut from happiness to fear to anger. Ji-eun sings and composes in three languages: Korean, Japanese and English. She's a kind of genius to be sure, and she has great style and a rich, colorful voice. She's one of my very favorite new artists.

HAN HEE JUNG: KOREA'S BEST KEPT SECRET
_____________________
BLUE DAWN was a modern folk duo composed of Han Hee Jung
('Dawny') who did vocals and Jung Sang Hoon ('Ssoro') who did guitar and programming. Before BLUE DAWN, Han Hee Jung was lead singer of THE THE BAND. Now Dawny is a solo act. I love Han Hee Jung's music so much... it's the calmest, most soothing, soul-healing music I've ever heard - similar to another Korean singer I love: Siwa. Mesmirizing and quite magical is how I would describe her songs... Enjoy!

CHEER CHEN 陳綺貞 (TAIWAN)

Cheer Chen (Chen Qi Zhen) is a Taiwanese
singer-songwriter who is hugely
popular in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and
Singapore. She sings in Mandarin and
English. Her style is simple, pure,
unaffected, and she accompanies herself on
guitar and piano. I think her voice is so special,
addictive in fact.

“A shaper of young minds by profession and a rabid wordsmith by passion, Wani Ardy personifies the bipolarities of modern twentysomething. Her campfire-esque singalongs are celebratory, intense and nurturing, the perfect soundtrack to growing up, getting lost and finding your way back home in the big city.”
