Pianist, composer, and educator Srisley hails from South Korea. She earned a master's degree in jazz music from Kyung Hee University in South Korea and received a full scholarship to Berklee College of Music. Her decision to give up her career in South Korea and to make the long journey to study Latin American music in the US demonstrates her unwavering commitment to her art. She is a skillful leader of musicians, ranging from soloists to big bands. In South Korea, she served as an artistic director, managing approximately 40 musicians and tap dancers and directing performances.
Most recently, she was selected as a finalist in the prestigious Jacksonville Jazz Festival's Piano Competition and was honored as a composer at Berklee's annual Career Jam.
Her ethos places paramount emphasis on fostering human connections, while her profound reverence for collaborative musical endeavors remains at the core of her artistic philosophy.
