Yoon Do Hyun is a South Korean singer-songwriter, musician, host, producer, musical actor, and member of YB (formerly known as Yoon Do Hyun Band, 윤도현밴드). He graduated from Munsan High School.

In 1993, he began performing as a guest vocalist for the band JONGYIYEON and he also worked at several nightclubs in Paju. The following year, he made his debut as a solo artist with the studio album, "In Front of the Post Office in Autumn". While it produced two hits (the singles "Tarzan" and "Love Two"), the album was not commercially successful as dance music was more popular at the time.

He then became the founder, leader, lead vocalist and guitarist of the rock band named after him in 1996. They debuted with the studio album, "Yoon Do Hyun 2".

They nearly disbanded in 2000 after an initial lack of success, but they experienced a surge in popularity after composing the cheer song for the 2002 FIFA World Cup. They became the first band to perform in North Korea in 2002, the first South Korean band to perform at the "South by Southwest" (SXSW) festival in Austin, Texas in 2007, and to tour Europe in 2008.

In 2005, he decided to rebrand the band and changed the name from YOON DO HYUN BAND to just YB, so it would be easier for international fans.

He has also ventured into other areas such as musical theater, TV and radio host, judge and mentor on singing competitions. He is represented by D Company (디컴퍼니).
