Mudd the student (born 윤승민 Yoon Seung-min, January 23, 2000) is a South Korean singer-songwriter and rapper. He is known for his experimental sound, combining rock with electronica, hip hop, and pop elements.
Early life
[edit | edit source]Yoon Seung-min was born in Anyang, Gyeonggi Province, and raised in Gijang, Busan.
In 2019, he applied to the Vans “Musician Wanted” contest and was selected as a top 5 finalist, which prompted him to seriously pursue a music career.[1]
He adopted the stage name "Mudd the student" because he likes how "Mudd" sounds and "Student" reflects his motto that everything has something to learn from.[2]

2021: Released the EP Field Trip

~Present
Activities with Balming Tiger
Following his appearance on the show, Mudd the student began working as part of the Balming Tiger team, participating in various projects and further strengthening his experimental sound. His music naturally aligned with Balming Tiger’s characteristic alternative and non-conventional musical universe, influencing his artistic identity.
Artistry
[edit | edit source]Mudd the student is known for using mechanical noises, distortion, and eccentric samples—abstract and multilayered sound textures that define his music. He cites classic indie-rock bands such as Pavement, Dinosaur Jr., and Sonic Youth as major influences. These inspirations have shaped his unique sonic texture, his use of distorted vocals, and his dreamy, deliberately imperfect sound aesthetics.[2]
