Hyuna Park heads up her own eponymous jazz trio comprising herself, Evan Gregor on bass and Jay Sawyer on drums. One of few female Asian performers successfully established on the jazz scene touring across the globe – from her native Korea, to Europe to her current home in New York – Park delivers technically flawless and artistically inspired renditions of classic jazz standards as well as a vibrant mosaic of her original compositions.  

Rigorously trained from two decades of classical piano, Park took the courageous step to break into the Occidental-male dominated world of jazz.  She quickly amassed a variety of credits by recording sessions with major talents in Asia and composing for film and TV.  

After winning music scholarships from Kyung Hee University in Korea as well as the City University of New York, Park has ventured on to performing with the great artists of contemporary jazz, winning awards, breaking new artistic territory, and inspiring fans with her emotion and style – across genres, across nations, and across generations.  

Now based in New York City, Park is one of the more sought after jazz artists on the touring circuit exhilarating audiences with her traditional skills and creative, dynamic performances.
