Having traveled the world and experienced numerous cultures, Iseul Kim has been influenced by unique musical styles her entire adult life. However, she credits her exposure to Latin music in Argentina and Cuba as having the largest impact on her music. The immense capacity for emotional expression in this genre allows her to infuse the passions of her life’s past, and its musical depth allows her to blend in her love of jazz.
