Jidam’s journey began in Seoul, Korea, where her musical talent began to emerge early. After studying at Dongduk University of Music in Korea, she moved to Boston to attend the Berklee College of Music.

​

In 2013, after years of studying Film Scoring in Berklee, Jidam moved to New Work where she'd offered a job in as a media composer and music director, and there released her debut album, collaborating with the most versatile and forward-thinking musicians: Flutes Sarpay Ozcagatay, drummer Jongguk Kim, bassist Changmin Jun, and pianists Mina Yu. In addition, as a special guest for live performances: the legendary Jazz Clarinetist Harry Skoler, one of Jidam’s most admired and respected musical influences.

​

The recording has been praised by artists and critics. Harry Skoler states: “Jidam is a true artist. She shares her stories and hearts with people in an extraordinary and personal approach, with a beautifully profound sense of grace. Jidam's sensitivity artistry, whether it be singing or composing, is heartfelt and powerfully moving." 

​

Her own orchestral composition, a mixture of Korean traditional music was won the '1st Prize' at the '2018 All Star Artist Festival', and premiered with the Seoul Pops Orchestra, Korea's most famous Pops Orchestra.
