OREY EYED
Yongin-si, South Korea
Orey Eyed is a project of South Korean producer and singer-songwriter Jaehyun Kim. Influenced by acts like Chairlift, The 1975, Perfume Genius, and more, fuzzy synths and mellow vocals characterize his sound.
After hearing Avicii’s hit single “Waiting for Love” on the radio, he self-taught music production on a free online DAW, eventually crafting melody-heavy house tracks at an early age. Upon entering high school, he went through struggles with balancing academics and music, initially pursuing Astronomy for a prospective major. After rediscovering love for music through a newfound interest in indie scene and alternative music, he founded the Orey Eyed project, while simultaneously deciding to major in Music Technology and choosing a career path in the music industry.
He aims to capture the beauty of various eerie and ethereal soundscapes, conveying emotions through the medium of music. Also invested in exploring different perspectives of romantic relationships and emotional struggles, the lyrics often assume a fictional point of view, providing a fresh and entertaining encounter to listeners. With three singles and a new EP out, he is currently working on a debut full length LP.
