Chapters

Yeah, The Piano Keys is my dream come true, basically. It is about life as much as it about music. The book holds 52 reflections, just like piano key has 52 white keys or 52 weeks of the year. That 52 has a lot of symbolic meanings to many people and especially to me, and each one paired with my story and on my own recording through QR code and also artwork from all over the world. Many collaboration with artists living in this, in this time. And it is collection of uplifting stories that take you behind the scenes of my life, classical pianist life, but also into my journey as South Korean immigrant or entrepreneur or the artists who live in in my mid-40s. And but it is hard. I think Beyond the Keys is about connection through words, through music, and the art— artwork. And I believe no matter how advanced technology becomes, we always longing that human touch of creativity to remind us the beauty and to give us perspective and to bring us back to this present moment.
