Hotel Cafe was alive and packed for Bobby Choy, aka Big Phony’s ‘Kicking Punching Bags’ sold out album release show last Thursday. The set was complete with songs from the album including Short Intermission, and Talk of the Town. The show was a great experience of Bobby’s mellow voice and great acoustic sound complete with his charmingly honest lyrics. Bobby ended the show with one of my personal favorite’s, Girls Like You Don’t Go For Guys Like Me- an encore that was much requested from the audience.
Bobby will be having his East Coast release show Thursday, March 18 at the Living Room in New York so come out if you can!

Did you know that every 15 seconds a woman is beaten in the U.S.? That every two minutes someone in the U.S. is raped or sexually assaulted? And that 40 to 60 percent of Americans of Asian Pacific Islander descent fall into these statistics? It’s quite alarming, isn’t it? Continue Reading »

Last night’s web show with Priscilla Ahn was magical. Her voice was heavenly and her sweet, giggly personality was infectious. I have a girl-crush, I’ll admit it. She had me at “curmudgeon-y.”
If you couldn’t catch the live performance, you can replay it in its entirety right here. (You can also access it from our KoreAm LIVE page at any time.) The most breathtaking song, in my opinion, was “Holy, Holy, Holy,” which Priscilla played with Big Phony and The Sweet Hurt. Scroll to about 00:46:00 to listen. Like I said, magical.
Just wanted to thank all the talented people for making this show possible (these live chats appear super casual but they’re actually run by a pretty massive crew): the wonderful Priscilla Ahn (of course), our rockstar host Big Phony, vocalist/keyboardist Wendy Wang of The Sweet Hurt, the team at Future Rockstars of America, Peter of My Ninja Clothing and Charles and Justin of The Mighty Fifty. I know people always say, “We couldn’t have done it without you” but we really couldn’t have done it without you.
Cheers everyone!
We’re so excited to present iamKoreAm.com’s first live show and chat session featuring Big Phony, aka Bobby Choy. The alt-folk singer/songwriter, who splits his time between New York and LA, woos listeners with his amazingly soothing ballads and his smart, thoughtful lyrics. He’s also one of the nicest guys you’ll meet.

It’s the new year, and Yim Jae Beum is coming to town! After a sold-out show in Los Angeles last October, he is coming back to hold two U.S. concerts for the 2012 Lunar New Year. Everyone already knows this man can sing! He’s got an impressive resume, debuting as a rock singer back in 1986, releasing Korean classics, such as “For You,” and most recently, joining and winning first place twice on the MBC show, “I am a Singer.”
Seattle and New Jersey, get ready! We are happy to announce that we will be giving away TWO (2) pairs of tickets! read more
