Singer-songwriter I’ll Explores Musical Boundaries with Unique Identity

Embodied by his moniker's optimistic and daring character, singer-songwriter I’ll exudes a bright and engaging persona. His stage name, derived from his own birthdate, November 13—using the numeral '3' to replace an apostrophe—carries the essence of infinite possibilities and a mantra of commitment, signaling a readiness to 'do something' ambitious.

The Genesis of 'I’ll'

Before solidifying his career in music, I’ll entertained multiple artistic dreams, one of them being a classical pianist. He honed his craft at the esteemed Berklee College of Music and first emerged on the music scene in Japan. Today, he is gaining traction as a singer in Korea. His family—their taste for various music genres and his mother's background as a Japanese Enka singer, as well as his actor-singer brother No Min-woo—nurtured his musical aspirations, despite the challenges of establishing his identity across different cultures and music landscapes.

A Career Without Borders

I’ll found his footing navigating the multifaceted world of music—a journey marked by his participation in diverse genres. 2019 saw him debut as a band member of Hoppipolla, displaying his prowess in producing music and vocal performance. In his solo endeavors, he is not confined to one style but instead flows from soothing ballads to vibrant rhythms, a testament to his eclectic taste in music fostered since childhood.

'Mixtape' – A Musical Exploration

In pursuit of his musical identity, I’ll released the 'Mixtape' album series. The mixtapes, a traditional format for artists to showcase their sound before hitting the mainstream, served as an experimental space for him. I’ll sees this series as part of a larger quest to crystallize his unique sound and plans to transition into the domain of regular album releases.

Future Aspirations

Ambitious and forward-thinking, I’ll envisions himself taking on the role of a musical actor and writing a musical. With a flair for composing narrative-driven and emotionally rich music, he contemplates further education in film music to expand his expertise. Despite his lofty goals, he wishes to stay relatable, akin to the widespread appeal of fried chicken, aiming to create music that resonates universally.

Gratitude to the Fans

The fervor and aspirations that drive I’ll are deeply rooted in the appreciation for his audience. Touched by the loving sentiments expressed in fan letters, ranging from being referred to as a first love to a last, he feels a deep responsibility to honor these connections through his artistry.
