Lea Han was born in 1997 and started playing piano by the age of 6. She began her studies with Kyoto Møller, and later on with Bella Zapolski. After graduting a pre-conservatory (MGK) in 2014, she has been studying with Amalie Malling and Jens Elvekjær at the Royal Danish Academy of music in Copenhagen.

Prize in “Spil for Livet”, a competition held by the national radio, where she got the chance to perform with the danish radio orchestra. Through these competitions, she has played concerts all over Denmark. Later on, she has received several scholarships, like Thyra Rosa Berthold Johansens legat, Bente Calbergs legat, Kontorchef Arthur Andersen og Hustru Ellen Andersens legat, and the Copenhagen Summerfestival Talentprize.
