(2) Born on February 15, 1978 in Seoul, South Korea, pianist Yiruma (real name: I Ru-ma) has released a string of successful albums in the 2000s and managed to land a number one hit with his composition "River Flows in You." Additionally, he was the first Korean artist to be invited to perform at the 2002 MIDEM in Cannes, France. Yiruma began playing the piano at the age of five and then moved to London in 1988 to study at the Purcell School of Music, where he graduated in July 1997. In June 2000, he completed a composition major at King's College London, and from 2001 onward he released a number of albums that can be categorized somewhere between the "contemporary classical" and "new age" genres. His 2001 album First Love contained the composition "River Flows in You," which subsequently became a number one hit in several countries, especially when it was briefly considered to be included on the soundtrack of the movie Twilight. Even though the producers ultimately did not use the piece, a series of YouTube videos appeared online where Yiruma's cut was put into the corresponding scene, boosting the track's popularity and resulting in it being remixed by German DJ Alex Christensen in 2010. Yiruma also composed the scores for the movie Oasis (directed by Lee Chang-dong) and the stop-motion animated film Doggy Poo (directed by Kwon Oh-sung). ~ Christian Genzel, Rovi

I remember once, when I was walking outside in the rain, crying. The sky poured rain on my head, flowing down my face, along with my salty tears. I thought there was no hope. Then, I felt something warm shining. I looked up, and saw the sun. The rain didn't stop, but the sun shone brightly and cheerfully. I smiled feebly, but gratefully. This song brings back the painful, but beautiful moment .... Sunny rain.

The beautiful thing about Yiruma's music is that no matter your age, gender, language, or anything, you can still enjoy it. Yiruma's music is like one beautiful universal language that anyone can speak.

I'm always so inspired when listening to his music!!!!!!!! He's FABULOUS!!!!! The music just flows so perfectly..........Yiruma is definitely one of my new all time favorites!!!!!!!!!!

Yiruma's music conveys some kind of positive depression, some kind of oxymoronic contradiction that creates a mixture of emotions in listeners--an explicit concoction unexplainable and full of fireworks, star bursts and glistening notes... He can intrude on my thoughts and leave me speechless, wordless, and utterly silent, left with only the glossy coat of tears in my tired blue eyes.

Sunny rain is the best type of rain I think... Especially when the sun's setting, just there on the horizon, with clouds only overhead, and the colourful sunbeams glisten off the drops of rain... It gives a sense of hope - just like this song does :) It is beautiful...
Sheena Ybanez

I'm only fourteen, but through Yiruma's music, I feel like I've aged at least thirty years; emotionally and mentally. I love you, Yiruma. You've changed my life. ~ ♥

He's awesome. You can't change that fact. People will try to damage his reputation with degrading words and insults, but his awesomeness will forever remain in his music...
