bio
Lee Gheun Hyung has been a cornerstone of the Korean music scene for over four decades and is widely recognized as one of the country’s living guitar legends.
His rise to prominence among Korea’s most esteemed guitarists began in the 1980s, during a time when the domestic music market was largely dominated by a mix of K-pop, Western pop, and traditional Korean music.
Through his performances with the hard rock band Little Sky, he played a pivotal role in popularizing rock ‘n’ roll in Korea.
With exceptional skill and a unique sound, Lee became a pioneer of rock music in Asia, building a loyal and dedicated fan base that continues to thrive today.
His strong passion for roots and classic rock has been with him since childhood, continuing to serve as a major source of inspiration throughout his extensive musical career.
This enduring love for the genre has shaped a distinctive playing style that feels like it’s been pulled straight out of a time capsule from the golden era of rock ‘n’ roll.
Gheun Hyung’s unique sound is characterised by his innovative use of guitar techniques, blending blues, rock, and folk influences.
He skillfully employs a mix of powerful riffs, complex fingerpicking, and dynamic solos, often using alternate tunings to create unique soundscapes.
His vast repertoire has made him a sought-after studio musician, with many major names in the music scene eager to bring his sound to their live performances as well.
In 2023 he dropped his long awaited solo debut ‘Alone…Not Alone’, which was acclaimed far beyond the scene thanks to its strong songwriting, dense atmosphere and high production quality.
