London Singer-songwriter Yvonne Han started creating as ‘The Sound of Modesty’ in 2018. Known for both her candid lyrics and unique take on indie rock, she continuously blends avant-garde and modernist electronic pop elements in her music. 

From an early age Yvonne was immersed into the world of classical music, learning instruments on the side alongside her sisters whilst studying to become a writer. 

However, during 2017 after forming an indie-rock band with friends, Yvonne had started developing her own exclusive songwriting style, influenced strongly by experimental female artists like Mitski and Björk, but also electronic pop artists like EGOIST and t.A.T.u., with her earliest material ‘Eye, The Cauldron of Morning’ resembling softer pop such as Sleeping At Last and Regina Spektor. 

She independently released the debut EP in 2018 under the pseudonym ‘The Sound of Modesty’, and after finally building up the courage to pursue music full time, followed up with her sophomore project ‘Metamorphosize’ in 2020. 

Now studying Music Production at Leeds Conservatoire, Yvonne is finishing off her debut album alongside her session band, with the first two singles ‘Stalemate’ and ‘Warm Floors/Cold Bodies’ released during lockdown, touching on toxic familial miscommunication and her experience battling mental health.
