Soyoung Park is a South Korean vocalist, pianist and songwriter based in New York, whose own compositions pair a clear, precise voice with harmony closely tied to melody and lyric. She came to the United States in 2008 on an Asia Tour Scholarship to Berklee College of Music, where she studied piano and voice, and later completed a master's degree in jazz voice at the Manhattan School of Music. In 2016 she reached the top six of the Mid-Atlantic Jazz Voice competition and the semi-final round of the Montreux Jazz Voice competition. Her album Behind the Clouds, written around her life and faith and recorded with pianist Yoonseung Cho, bassist Changmin Jun and drummer Jongkuk Kim, was released on SteepleChase Lookout in 2023, following the 2019 release Sing the Spring with guitarist Junbeom Kim. She teaches jazz voice and piano at Muhlenberg College.
