LeeSun

About Me


LeeSun was born in Seoul, Korea, grew up in Canada and is now based in the UK. After a short stint on another planet and the discovery of an allergy to formal education, she decided to sing about how messed up the earth is, how beautiful people are, and of course Love, which to quote the Beatles “is all you need”.
LeeSun's debut EP, Dis illusion, is available for listening, downloading, sharing, and buying at http://leesun.bandcamp.com . It's a wonderful collection of four unmistakeably LeeSun tunes, seeped in smiles, wisdom, and warm fuzzy feelings, underpinned with hint of darkness.

“If you crossed the most enchanting aspects of Erin McKeown, Ani DiFranco, Norah Jones, and Bjork, you'd be left with one tripped-out chanteuse. You'd be left with LeeSun. The UK singer-songwriter combines the cadence and confessional pitch of McKeown and DiFranco with the intimacy of Jones and Bjork's frozen waifishness.” Editor’s Review, Download.com
