BIOGRAPHY

Sungha was born in Chenongju, the capital of the Northern Province of South Korea in a middle-class family on September 2, 1996. His family includes his parents, Jung Woo-Chang and Park Eun Joo, his younger sister, Sooha, and his dog, Coco.

            He is a South Korean musician who specializes in acoustic fingerstyle guitar. Jung creates acoustic covers and arrangements, typically by ear and/or by watching videos, and has original music, which he plays and uploads online. 

          Sungha Jung became passionate about guitar when he was in primary school. His father Jung Woo-Chang was an amateur guitarist and that attracted the little boy to the instrument even though he was not able to hold a guitar then. Strings were painful for his soft fingers. Sungha’s father then introduced him to the fingerstyle technique of plucking the strings directly with fingertips and Sungha rocked it. Later he took professional lessons from Japanese Jazz Guitarist Hata Shuji. Currently he is learning and practicing drum.
