I come from a musical family, so I fell in love with the violin long before I began playing at the age of 6. My mom gave me my first violin lessons, and I was fortunate to have many wonderful teachers throughout my life who inspired me to be the violinist I am today. I played my first wedding while in high school and continued to gain wedding experience as a regular call for many wedding bands around Georgia.

Every wedding I play makes me fall in love with my job even more. I’ve gotten to know my beautiful state of Georgia by playing weddings everywhere from Atlanta, to the Blue Ridge mountains, the low country, and the coasts. I love everything that makes a wedding come together, like a beautiful venue, small details like flowers and decorations, and the positive energy from guests. I love that my music is a meaningful addition to one of the most important days of a couple’s life. I hope that this all comes across to my clients when they book me for their big day.

Fun facts about me:

• My name is pronounced Hee-jung. I was born in South Korea and came to the U.S. when I was 6.

• My husband, Eric, and I have three cats

• My favorite musical experiences have been recording with Baby Rose and Raiche, playing a few Candlelight Concerts, and participating in masterclasses with Midori Goto and Augustin Hadelich
