Q&A with Jaley

Ktown213:  You were born and raised in California but your current location is New York. How does it compare to California and how do you like it in the Big Apple?

Jaley:  There is no place like NYC, there's no doubt about that. But it took me longer to get used to this city than Los Angeles. In LA, the weather is perfect and New York's weather is not the greatest. But NYC makes up for that with more opportunities for just about anything you're looking for.

Ktown213:  Obviously you're an incredible talent. How old were you when you discovered your special talent and wanted to pursue it further?

Jaley:  When I was 10 and I tried out for a solo part in a children's choir. The teacher told me that I had a knack for singing, and it that was the first time anyone had ever complimented me on my voice... because it was the first time I had sung in front of anyone else but my parents.

Ktown213:  What has been your biggest accomplishment in your career so far?

Jaley:  Just moving out to NYC on my own and basically just being thrust into a whole different world almost. It was the first time I had ventured out alone like that so it opened my eyes and got me to grow up a little quicker.

Ktown213:  What other goals have you set, and where do you see yourself 5 years from now?

Jaley:  I have so many other goals that I want to reach other than just music but I can't let them out just yet. And in 5 yrs... I have no idea what I'm gonna be doing. All I hope for is just to be happy, then everything else will fall into place.

Ktown213:  You've worked with many famous talented people in your industry, any particular ones worth mentioning?

Jaley:  I just recently hired on Lizzy Grubman as my publicist. She's worked with Britney Spears, Cam'ron, P. Diddy, Gloria Estefan and the list goes on... and she was the one who was interested in working with me to get my name out there so it's definitely an honor for someone like her to believe in my project.

Ktown213:  Any fond memories of Ktown Los Angeles?

Jaley:  I love the Korean restaurants there, and I've been to the 2 malls in the area many times. It's very comfortable for me to be in this city, even though I didn't grow up here, I feel like I did.

Ktown213:   With your busy schedule, your career, being focused, handling the pressure, how's your dating life? Are you single?

Jaley:  I never had much of a dating life actually... I usually stick to the people I trust and love.

Ktown213:  What advice do you have for young KAs pursuing the music industry?

Jaley:  Just to know that being a minority doesn't mean they can't pursue big things. When it comes down to it, your heritage isn't going to stop you from achieving whatever you want to if you're determined enough.

Ktown213:  We thank you for your time, and we wish you the best of luck!

Jaley:  Thanks!
