Kiss the Rain is largely known for being part of the soundtrack for the Korean film A Millionaire’s First Love. This widely-accepted sub-form of classical music has become very popular with other composers such as Ludovico Einaudi and Jon E Amber producing music of a similar vein. His persistence with the solo piano genre has allowed his music to be more widely accepted in modern media, as the structure is often reflective of popular music. His 2003 album From the Yellow Room features one of his other famous piano works Kiss the Rain.Īlthough sometimes described as ‘new-age’ and ‘new-classical’ in genre, Yiruma firmly believes his works reflect that of the popular music world, whilst also paying homage to classical forms before him. It has been featured in TV advertisements, films and is often performed around the world. The latter became and has remained Yiruma’s number one hit throughout his career. His most popular album to date was released in 2001, First Love, which features Yiruma’s famous works Till I Find You and River Flows in You on it.

Whilst studying at King’s, Yiruma released his first solo piano album, Love Scene, with DECCA records. Born in 1978 in South Korea, Yiruma moved to England in 1988 to study at the prestigious Purcell School of Music, and then at King’s College London where he studied composition. Yiruma, born Lee Ru-ma, is a South Korean-British composer and pianist.
