Biography

Yun Seok-cheol was born in Seoul, South Korea. He attended Daejin High School and majored in jazz at JEI University.

Along with bassist Kim Sang-yee and drummer Kim Yong-jin, he is a member of the Yun Seok Cheol Trio, which was formed with the desire to "create a jazz group that felt like a rock or indie band".[1] They released their first album, Growth, in 2009 and released their second album Love is a Song in 2013.[3] In 2018, they released the D Flat in April, an EP containing new tracks as well remakes of old songs.[4]

Yun is active in the K-pop scene as a producer and session musician, working with singers such as Zion.T, Beenzino, Jang Hye-jin, Sam Kim, Kwon Jin-ah and Baek Yerin.[5][6] His best known composition is arguably "Just" by Crush and Zion.T,[5] which debuted atop the Gaon Digital Chart in 2015 with an eventual chart run of 35 weeks.[7] His production work fuses elements of jazz, hip-hop and electronic music.[8]

He joined You Hee-yeol's music label Antenna in March 2019.[6] On September 17, 2020, he released Tailor, his first album under the producer alias The Blank Shop.[9] It featured guest appearances from Sunwoojunga, 10cm, Ha Heon-jin, Wonpil, Yerin Baek, Cadejo, Lee Jin-ah, and Hello Ga-Young.
