Twenty years ago, the girl who appeared in the Music industry, called 'Little Fairy', has now grown to represent the Korean ballad. Lena Park, 42, a Korean-American who returned to her homeland in 1998 to fulfill her dream of becoming a singer, was recognized by the public by taking one step and one step.
He released his ninth full-length album in June, marking his 20th anniversary. No one expected Lena Park to grow into a long-time Korean Music-wrinkling Deva at the time of her debut. He was just a rookie who grew up in United States of America LA like any other Korean.
Lena Park, who started her career in her parents' country with a dream of a singer, has grown her dreams since childhood. Thanks to his father, who was a pastor, he naturally encountered Music and was a recognized singer in the United States of America Korean community. Before his debut in Korea, he won various Music competitions such as 93 Korean radio broadcasting station Gospel contest and jazz contest. Naturally, he encountered various genres such as R & B in United States of America, and he contributed greatly to the rooting of new genres in Korea.
Lena Park's vocals, which danced on the melody, caught the public's ears that R & B was not familiar with. He was loved for a variety of hits including "My Day," "PS I Love You," "In Dreams," and "I'll Let You Write."
3. Star Is Born (star born);
I was a star, though I may have said it, because I won the grand prize in countless regional and city-hosted contests. Downing City Talent Fagent Grand Prize, 93 Korean Radio Station Gospel Contest Grand Prize, Jazz Contest Grand Prize. He was so famous that he was invited to many churches and school summer camps, and had tours and concerts. At the age of 16, he even announced the Gospel album with the prize of the contest. The famous 'Amazing Grace', as well as the hymn's CCM (Contemporary Christian Music), were collected and taken into one Korean and English. He made his debut as a singer quite early.
4. My Song, My Voice (my song, my voice);
The first CD I ever bought in my life was Amy Crant, who was called the Queen of Gospel. That was 88 years. Since then, I have heard R & B and rap such as Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown as well as CCM, and it has also fun with Pearl Jam's alternative rock sound. Jazz Music, which I started listening to in the jazz contest, was also a big attraction for me. Now I listen to Brian McKnight or r&b intensively. I am an r&b singer in Korea. r&b charm? The method is so fun. I think this genre should be good at real singing. I study how to create a new method of singing while listening diligently.
I’m a very thin person, people say, and it’s good for r&b. I think it’s a non-attractive part, but I’m so thin and unattractive that I even blame myself for being too thin and uncool. I personally like low notes rather than high notes, which I’m also a boonahal part of. I’ve played with rock bands in LA. It was mainly Gospel Rock, which was hard to write, but it was also twice as fun, because there was a song singing with R & B to the guitar sound with the distortion. At that time, how to gather strength in voice was the subject of study.
