Hello, my name is Jenny Hyun. I'm a 23 yr. old female Korean American Pop/R&B singer, songwriter and model who enjoys designing websites, writing poetry and photography, currently residing in Queens, New York City. I like everyone I meet, I always give people the benefit of the doubt. I am extremely open-minded and brutally honest, almost/maybe to a fault, and I get preoccupied in my own train of thoughts.
There is so much more I could say about myself, but words could never reach the depth of who I truly am and what I feel. Maybe through my music and blogs , both you and I will discover something new about the person that I am.

With sheer vocal talent, lyrical genius, exotic beauty, andcharismatic personality, there is no doubt that this 22 yr. oldKorean-American singer and songwriter is the name of music's fresh new face.JENNY (formerly known as Jaley) has come a long way to make her dream ofbecoming a recording artist happen. From recording herself on her computermicrophone, to winning a singing competition on MTV, her journey hastaken her to this very place.
Jenny Hyun was born in Los Angeles, CA but only lived there for the first fewyears of her life. Her parents then decided to settle in Virginia. It wasthere that JENNY's natural vocal talent was discovered.
"I discovered singing when I was around 8 years old," JENNY explains. "Ididn't know I had a singing talent until I was around 10; but there weren'tmany opportunities in Virginia, so when I was 16, my parents decided to moveto California and that's where I got my shot to do what I love."
While in California, JENNY began to collaborate with producers,and writing and recording her own material. Since then, she has worked withnumerous producers, including Needlz (Fabolous, 50 Cent, G-Unit, NappyRoots, Drag-On), Jean T. Na (The Tyra Banks Show, The PussycatDolls) and X-Factor (Madonna, Chaka Kahn, Robert Palmer). As well ashoning and perfecting her vocals with industry-respected vocal coach DonLawrence (Christina Aguilera, Rolling Stones, Billy Joel). She also hiredon sought-after publicist, Lizzie Grubman (MTV's "PoweRGirls", BritneySpears, Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, Jay-Z) to create a buzz in the industry.
JENNY began to go for her dream full speed when she submitted her demo in 2002to her then management and signed with a production company a year later.Since then she has performed at venues from New York City's The BitterEnd (Patti La Belle, Joni Mitchell, Avril Lavigne, Stevie Wonder),Webster Hall (Tina Turner, Eric Clapton, Prince, Sting), TheCutting Room and Jing Fong Restaurant to The Viper Room in LA to Hawaii for WorldAsia'sXentopia 2004 where 10,000 people were in attendance and filmed for theirnetwork launch.

But most importantly, JENNY is at the forefront of an era where AsianAmericans are just beginning to make their mark in the entertainment industry.With Lucy Liu and Bobby Lee covering the movies and television industry, itis only a matter of time until an Asian American will take the music industryby storm. JENNY has the potential for not only national popularity, butinternational success also. Asia's fast-growing economy holds millions ofpeople who have fallen in love with American musicians in the past, andJENNY's potential for gaining an immense fan base in Asian countries islimitless.

wrapping up projects with producers RobOnBass (Mary J. Blige, Wyclef Jean, Styles,
Joe, and Fat Joe) and Ominous (signed with 20th

and she co-produces all her music. With the right backing, it's obvious that she is on her way to astronomical heights in her career.
