22 year old female Asian Pop/R&B singer/songwriter from NYC.
Band/artist history
With sheer vocal talent, lyrical genius, exotic beauty, and charismatic personality, there is no doubt that this 22 year old Korean-American singer and songwriter is the name of music's fresh new face. Jenny Hyun 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 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 Hyun's natural vocal talent was discovered. "I discovered singing when I was around 8 years old," Jenny explains. "My own parents didn't even know I was singing until a couple years later because I hid it from everyone. It was a very personal thing, but for some reason, I always knew I was going to be a singer." At 16 years old, Jenny's family moved to California and began to collaborate with producers, 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. During the course of her two years with them, she has performed at venues from New York's The Bitter End (Patti La Belle, Joni Mitchell, Avril Lavigne, Stevie Wonder) 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 was also offered to take on other projects including hosting shows for another Asian American television network, ImaginAsian TV, with talks of even building a show around her. But most importantly, Jenny Hyun is at the forefront of an era where Asian Americans are just beginning to make their mark in the entertainment 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. It's almost been a year since Jenny finally got released from an unfair contract by her previous production and management companies. But she's already hard at work writing and recording new material like "Won't Give Up", "Someone" and "So True". Jenny is busy meeting with top producers and music execs to set Jenny's career back into motion - the right way. Jenny Hyun 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. It's only a matter of time that she will be reaching astronomical heights in her career.
