About Vienne

Jonathan Korszyk, aka Vienne

Jonathan Korszyk, aka Vienne, has crafted a musical style that audiences on a global level are responding to. Born and raised in Southern California, his strong-rooted music career and strength behind a piano stems from musical influences like The Beatles, Queen, Phil Collins, Stevie Wonder, Peter Gabriel, Aqualung, and Keane. Songs on the Vienne EP has found appearances on shows like Gossip Girl, Chuck, Hollywood Heights, The T.O. Show, and Teen Mom.

Jonathan has also teamed up with dancer and actress, Kathryn McCormick (SYTYCD, Step Up Revolution), to help bring attention to the issue of human trafficking: a cause close to his heart. Jonathan's song, She Breaks, was written in response to his hearing a young girl's first-hand experience as a slave. The music video for She Breaks, directed by Renato Braga and starring McCormick, is a direct effort to bring attention to, alleviate, and prevent the traumas inflicted by human trafficking.
