Born in 1969 in Seoul of South Korea, Youn Sun Nah comes from a family of musicians – her father is a choir conductor and her mother a classical singer. She made her debut in the field of music at the age of 23 with a joint concert with the Korean Symphony Orchestra but it was not until she turned 26 that she decided to make music her profession. She then performed in numerous Korean musicals on a national stage, for which she has received numerous awards. However, because of all its constraints she did not find that musical environments fulfilling. She decided to go to Paris in 1995 to study jazz and French chanson at the CIM school —one of the oldest jazz schools in Europe— and at the National Music Institute of Beauvais, and at the Nadia and Lili Boulanger Conservatory. Her innate talent for jazz revealed itself when she started playing in Parisian jazz clubs with her group YSN 5tet She made her rounds around the Paris club scene, performances that would earn her invitations to work together by many famous musicians. Youn Sun Nah made strong showing in a number of jazz concourse like La Defense, St. Maur, and Montmartre. She became the buzzword in theaters and festivals all over France, while also performing in Korea, essentially managing simultaneous careers in two countries.

En 1997 une jeune chanteuse du nom de Youn Sun Nah obtient le premier prix au Concours de la Chanson Française organisé par l’ambassade de France en Corée. Si le public coréen la connaît déjà pour ses remarquables prestations dans les comédies musicales, et si sa solide formation classique semble la destiner à un tout autre avenir, sa décision est prise : elle partira à Paris pour chanter la musique de son c ur : le jazz. Elle débarque à Paris en 1998 où elle se fait rapidement remarquer. Jacques Vidal fait appel à elle pour enregistrer sur son disque Ramblin (Shai Music) en compagnie de Manuel Rocheman, Simon Goubert et Florin Nicolescu. Parallèlement, elle commence à écumer clubs et festivals en compagnie de trois jeunes musiciens rencontrés au CIM :Guillaume Naud, Yoni Zelnik, et David Georgelet. Ensemble ils remportent le premier prix au Concours de St Maur, ainsi que le prix du jury au Concours de la Défense. En 2000 ils enregistrent leur premier disque avec de nombreux invités : Manu Codjia, Matthieu Donarier, Jean-Philippe Viret et le vibraphoniste David Neerman qui vient élargir la palette sonore du groupe et transformer le quartet en quintet. Depuis, le quintet s’est produit au Duc des Lombards, au Mandala (Toulouse), Jazz à Vannes ; Festival de Jazz des Cinq Continents (Marseille), Jazz in Marciac, Musiques d’ici et d’ailleurs (Chalons-en Champagne) ou encore en Corée dans les villes de Séoul et Pusan. Leur nouveau disque “Light for the people” a été enregistré en février 2002 au studio La Buissonne. Il est sorti depuis 2002 sur le jeune label “In Circum Girum”.
