“There's only one way to write rock music with mainstream potential that sounds timeless and honest, and pulling it off is not easy feat: It consists in finding a fine balance between melody, tension, character, meaning and relatability that few artists are able to strike (Tom Petty and The Cars are among our favorites). The music of Bird Streets features these qualities.” –The Deli

“Sometimes, it’s hard to figure out who you are—you’re not completely yourself,” confesses singer-songwriter Jenny Yim. “But when I’m on stage, I feel the closest thing to the real me. Everything else falls away.”

“I’m definitely a free spirit… a hippie. Nature just reenergizes me,” says Yim, who’s notorious for losing her slippers—such is her instinct to connect her bare feet to the earth. When the muse hits, Yim usually crafts her melodies and lyrics alone in the stillness of night, when she can think more meaningfully. “Writing can be kind of exhausting sometimes. It’s an outlet, but it isn’t a meditative sort of thing for me.” she says. “It comes to me if I am quiet, but I put a lot of my soul into it.”

“It has always been my dream to reach as many people as I can through my music, but regardless of where this path takes me, and how big the audience and venues might become, having a true connection with my fans will always be the most important thing.” she says.  For her, it’s the shared state of existence that most inspires her, the idea that we are in this together. “I hope that my career grows to a point where I have enough of a voice to make an impact on people’s lives, to effect changes where I can, but never forget that the support of my fans is what got me there.”
