Maria Kim Trio

“Refined, soulful jazz led by one of Korea’s most influential voices.” Maria Kim is one of Korea’s most celebrated jazz pianists and vocalists, and a true cultural ambassador whose artistry resonates far beyond her home country. As a leading figure in contemporary Korean jazz, she has been widely featured in major media and has performed on prominent stages, consistently drawing sold-out audiences across Korea while gaining growing international recognition. Notably, her streaming data shows that the United States is her largest listener base, an organic reflection of her strong resonance with American audiences. Building on this momentum, Maria Kim has recently signed with a U.S. record label, La Reserve and is set to release a new album this July with Lewis Nash (Drums), Rodney Whitaker (Bass).
