Hello, my name is Jenny Hyun. I'm a 25 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.
Thank you SongQuarters for making me Songwriter Of The Month in October 2007!

With sheer vocal talent, lyrical genius, exotic beauty, and
charismatic personality, there is no doubt that this 25 yr. old
Korean-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 of
becoming a recording artist happen. From recording herself on her computer
microphone, to winning a singing competition on MTV, her journey has
taken her to this very place.
Jenny Hyun was born in Los Angeles, CA but only lived there for the first few
years of her life. Her parents then decided to settle in Virginia. It was
there that JENNY's natural vocal talent was discovered.
"I discovered singing when I was around 8 years old," JENNY explains. "I
didn't know I had a singing talent until I was around 10; but there weren't
many opportunities in Virginia, so when I was 16, my parents decided to move
to 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 with
numerous producers, including Needlz (Fabolous, 50 Cent, G-Unit, Nappy
Roots, Drag-On), Jean T. Na (The Tyra Banks Show, The Pussycat
Dolls) and X-Factor (Madonna, Chaka Kahn, Robert Palmer). As well as
honing and perfecting her vocals with industry-respected vocal coach Don
Lawrence (Christina Aguilera, Rolling Stones, Billy Joel). She also hired
on sought-after publicist, Lizzie Grubman (MTV's "PoweRGirls", Britney
Spears, 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 2002
to 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 Bitter
End (Patti La Belle, Joni Mitchell, Avril Lavigne, Stevie Wonder),
Webster Hall (Tina Turner, Eric Clapton, Prince, Sting), The
Cutting Room and Jing Fong Restaurant to The Viper Room in LA to Hawaii for WorldAsia's
Xentopia 2004 where 10,000 people were in attendance and filmed for their
network launch. On May 2nd 2004, JENNY was invited to perform at the 25th
Annual Asian Pacific American Heritage Festival held at Union Square Park,
NYC where she performed for thousands at the all day event. JENNY also
participated in a singing competition called "Princess Idol" on the luxury
Princess Cruises line and took home a winning trophy. She has also
performed in the Bahamas at the world famous Atlantis hotel. She has also
performed for various charity events like Make-A-Wish Foundation and
USO in Ft. Dix, NJ. JENNY has been featured in numerous online and offline
publications like The Queens Tribune, Chinese Consumer Weekly, AARisings and HitQuarters.com. She was also a featured
Artist on Nextcat.com in August 2007 and Songwriter of the Month at SongQuarters.com on October
2007 and has also won first place in American Idol Underground's singing
competition in May 2007 which has spotlighted her in the ..Songs.com
newsletter and website.
But most importantly, JENNY is at the forefront of an era where Asian
Americans are just beginning to make their mark in the entertainment industry.
With Lucy Liu and Bobby Lee covering the movies and television industry, it
is only a matter of time until an Asian American will take the music industry
by storm. JENNY has the potential for not only national popularity, but
international success also. Asia's fast-growing economy holds millions of
people who have fallen in love with American musicians in the past, and
JENNY's potential for gaining an immense fan base in Asian countries is
limitless.
Even though JENNY has been busy civilly ending her business
relationship with her management/production company and recovering from jaw
surgery, she has continued to write and record new material and is currently
wrapping up projects with producers RobOnBass (Mary J. Blige, Wyclef Jean, Styles,
Joe, and Fat Joe) and Ominous (signed with 20th
Century Fox), with JENNY writing and co-producing every song.
JENNY has non-exclusive modeling contracts with Gail &
Rice and Affinity Model and Talent Agency as well as having a sponsored profile at Modeling INTL. Since joining these agencies, JENNY has been a promotional model for major corporations like The Mets, Saturn and many others. She has worked on numerous photo shoots (Kiwibox, MueveloNYC Photography,
SLAM Images LLC) and even has runway experience from the CFF Gala Fashion Show 2007.
JENNY has a vocal and songwriting talent that could compete with any artist on
the radio right now, her unique beauty and charisma stand out among the rest,
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.
