One step at a time!

Summer is often a season of energy and anticipation - a time for family gatherings, warm weather, and new beginnings. For classical guitarist Sungbin Cho, this summer has also been a time of exciting developments and creative focus. With the recording of his debut album completed, his days have been filled with exciting news, creative planning, and behind-the-scenes preparation. From shaping the album’s visual identity to mapping out the release, this has been a period not just of work, but of anticipation - each step bringing the project closer to the moment when it will finally meet its listeners.

One of the early milestones in this journey was meeting with Deux-Elles, the label that will release his debut album. From the very first conversation, Sungbin felt an immediate sense of understanding as they listened closely to his story, asked thoughtful questions about his repertoire choices, and showed genuine interest in the emotional narrative behind the project. It wasn’t just about producing an album; it was about creating something that truly reflected who he was as a musician.

Alongside these creative discussions came many smaller, but no less important, decisions. These details, Sungbin realised, were not simply administrative tasks; they were part of defining his artistic identity. This process has also been a chance for Sungbin to look inward. While his days are often focused on practising, performing, and preparing repertoire, the slower pace of album preparation encouraged him to consider his broader journey. Questions about why he plays, what he wants his music to convey, and how he hopes audiences will connect with it have all resurfaced.

Step by step, the album is taking shape not just as a collection of pieces, but as a portrait of where Sungbin stands today as a guitarist. Every meeting, design draft, and small decision brings him closer to sharing the final work with his audience, you.

For Sungbin, this journey is a reminder that meaningful milestones are built one careful step at a time! Keep an eye out for more updates on Sungbin's journey. We are excited to be publishing his Debut Album very soon!
