Yoon-Seok Shin - Born in South Korea in 1987, Yoon-Seok’s musical talent was evident from an early age, beginning the study of piano at age of six.

After completing his A-Level Studies at City of London Freemen’s School, he was a regular participant at the yearly music festival hosted by the Old Freemen Society where he was invited to perform on special occasions notably the 150th anniversary of Freemen’s Society.
