Jamie Cullum to hold first ever concert in Korea

Jazz musician Jamie Cullum will visit Korea in April to hold his first-ever concert in Korea in time with the release of his most recent album.

Cullum will perform in Korea on April 10 to promote his latest album "The Pursuit" which went on sale late last year, concert promoter Private Curve said on Wednesday.

Cullum, 30, is an English-born pop and jazz singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who released his first album "Heard It All Before" in 1999. He intertwines different aspects of pop, hip-hop, jazz, and rock in his music while playing the piano, guitar, drum and other instruments.

After his second album "Pointless Nostalgic" in 2002, he became famous with his songs rising in the English charts and soon signed with Universal Music. He then released "Twentysomething" and "Catching Tales" with hits climbing the charts in London, United States and Asia to make him an international star.

Tickets for Cullum's concert will go on sale at noon on Thursday through online reservation site Interpark (www.interpark.co.kr).
