Celebrity Spotlight Interview With Singer Jennifer Chung

Is it safe to say that YouTube launched your music career?
I've always gotta thank YouTube and all the people who've supported me through it. Performing comes naturally for me because I grew up in an artsy family, but being able to reach a wide audience from all over the world via YouTube was definitely a game changer for a small town girl from the bay area.

When your first video went viral, what were the initial thoughts running through your head?
I was 17 and had no idea what it truly meant to go viral. I think it went along the lines of, "1 million views? This is so fun!"

You've done a ton of collaborations and loads of cover songs. Looking back on your career so far, what's been your favorite moment in the last 5 years, musically speaking.
My favorite moments if I can jot them down:
Performing in front of audiences that sung along my originals & meeting legit musicians who were not only extremely talented, but incredibly humble <-- They continue to push me to be a respectable artist more ways than one

This might be a common question but if you could do a duet with any one American artist and one Korean pop artist who would it be and why?
This isn't common at all! One American artist I would love to collaborate with: Sara Bareilles because she's a kick ass vocalist and songwriter and I would love to attempt to write the most depressing love song in the world with her. One Korean pop artist: A Korean artist I'd love to collaborate with is Kim Bum Soo. He's a R&B king in Korea and to be able to work with him on a duet and just saaaaaang would be a dream."

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
In 5 years I may start popping out some babies with the hubby. I'll also have gone on tour by then and come out with a couple of projects. I songwrite on the regular for myself and other artists. That will be my bread and butter on top of blogging my experiences. I am a voice for those who don't get to have one.

Any last words for our KpopStarz readers?
Thank you for taking the time to read this. We're all nobodies until somebodies care about us ;)
