Yuhan Su

“Like the best fiction, it’s entirely enveloping.”- Downbeat

New York-based Taiwanese vibraphonist Yuhan Su is a creative force in contemporary jazz, recognized for a style that is both intellectually rigorous and deeply evocative. Recently named one of the “Up-and-Comers of the Year” by The New York City Jazz Record and a 2025 Downbeat Rising Star of Vibraphone nominee, Su has also been distinguished as one of the “Top 25 Best Vibraphonists in History” by U Discover Music.

Her discography as a leader spans five critically acclaimed releases, including her most recent work, OVER the MOONs (2025, Endectomorph), and the celebrated Liberated Gesture (2023, Sunnyside). Her work has garnered prestigious accolades globally, including the 2026 Golden Melody Award for “Best Instrumental Album,” “Best Instrumental Composer,” and multiple honors from the Golden Indie Music Awards, including “Best Album of the Year” and “Best New Artist.” A sought-after collaborator, Su was selected as the 2025 Jazz Gallery Residency Commission Artist and a member of the M3 (Mutual Mentorship of Musicians) Cohort 7. She has performed alongside visionary figures such as Vijay Iyer, Amir Elsaffar, Greg Osby, and Matt Mitchell. Yuhan Su is a Ludwig-Musser Percussion, Resta-Jay Percussion, and Alternate Mode Inc. endorsed artist.
