Yiruma is the stage name of I Ru-ma (born February 15, 1978), a South Korean pianist and composer. The name “Yiruma” means accomplishment in Korean.
His albums are sold all over Asia, as well as the United States and Europe. His most famous pieces include “Kiss the Rain”, “Maybe” and “River Flows in You” (First Love).
He began playing the piano at the age of five, and moved to London when he was 11, in 1988, to study at The Purcell School of Music . In December 1996, he participated in the album The Musicians of Purcell (Decca). He graduated from Purcell School of Music in July 1997, then graduated as a composition major from King’s College London in June 2000. His first album was released by DECCA while he was still studying at Kings College. During this time, he also went on a music tour throughout Europe, and composed for musicals, film and theatre.
Two years after his second album, Yiruma released his third album, ‘From the yellow room’. Pre-order sales alone topped 30,000 copies and the album was top-ranked on many popular music charts, including Yes24, Phono, and Hot Tracks. His 12 city national tour was a sellout, and his November concert at the Seoul National Arts Center also sold out.
His 4th album, ‘POEMUSIC’, is full of lyrical melody. In 2006, the following year, he composed a main theme song for a popular KBS drama, ‘Spring’s waltz.’ In his fifth album, ‘h.i.s monologue,’ he experienced a prepared piano technique which is about having percussion feeling in beautiful melody.
