Info for Grace

"GRACE" unfolds my experience as an adopted Korean in Belgium, weaving together melodies that offer comfort and solace. This album feels especially intimate, reflecting my personal journey and emotions as a father and as a human.

It’s all about creating a serene space, where you can find peace amidst life’s chaos. Expect a collection of resonant tracks featuring my original work alongside beautiful pieces by artists like Yiruma, R. Sakamoto, E. Gismonti and S. Myers.

As a classical guitarist, composer and producer, I aim to share sounds that uplift the spirit and invite reflection.

Featuring the incredible talent of Anna Tsuchiya and original compositions by brilliant composers like John Metcalfe and Debbie Wiseman—who masterfully capture the essence of ''Grace''—this album is a sonic journey that invites you to look to the sky.
