With the monotonous alikeness of today’s artists, it is difficult to find music
Luckily, there are artists like Soojin Yeh on the music scene who are
determined to have their voice heard and change the industry.
Born May 29, 1989 in Seoul, Korea, music has been a part of Soojin’s identity
from the very beginning. She took piano and violin lessons from the age of
six and continued playing in orchestras until after her family moved to the
USA in 1997. At age 10 she began singing in choirs and sacrificed piano and
violin so that she could focus on her voice. Soon, she was a regular in many
local talent shows. At 13 she decided to pursue music as her lifelong career
when a friend introduced her to songwriting. Soojin found that she could
talk to people, express herself and touch lives through songs that she
could in no other way.
She and the friend formed a Destiny’s Child-esque R&B group called Angel.
After performing in local events and doing free shows, Angel parted ways
due to Soojin’s relocation. Soojin formed a new R&B group called Addictive
in her new home that traveled more in the direction of TLC. Addictive cut
many songs in the studio but could not agree on their musical direction. The
group split after many attempts to finish a demo due to creative differences.
Soojin then auditioned for Midnight, the last group she would be a part of.
After making the cut, Soojin found out that Midnight was a Hilary Duff type
pop group that was completely the opposite of what she had in mind. Soojin
then left to pursue a solo career.
After her decision to go solo, Soojin worked as a wedding singer while
pondering what she really desired her act to be. She drew lyrical inspiration
from rapper Eminem, and became a semi-finalist on Poetry.com with one of
her lyrics. Christina Aguilera’s vocal prowess and musical range inspired
her as a performer. Her sound remained true to her laid-back R&B roots,
consisting of slow ballads and jazzy melodies compared to Alicia Keys and
Keyshia Cole.
Soojin Yeh is an artist like no other. Her lyrics touch topics many artists do
not think of, such as racism and suicide. Many listeners have found comfort
in that they can relate to and be inspired by Soojin’s lyrics. Her voice and
her catchy melodies draw in fans of soon-to-be classics. Her hip-hop/punk
rock look makes her stand out among others in her genre even more than
the fact she is Korean-American. Soojin Yeh is truly the music industry’s
next major revolution.
