Calling herself “a gateway drug to classical music,” Jeeyoon Kim has been playing piano for about 90% of her life. She’s certainly learned a few things along the way, from discipline and routine to overcoming nerves—fighting monsters inside of us—to the ways music can open up new adventures for people. When she’s not tickling the ivories, Jeeyoon also has her own YouTube channel and podcast, where she offers an inside look at making music and the art of creativity. On top of all that, Jeeyon is also the author of the new book, Whenever You’re Ready: How to Compose the Life of Your Dreams, which is structured like one of her musical performances. We’re covering it all in this episode. Grab a seat in the front—it’s going to be a great show.
