Bio
Music by Hymn Factory has the sound of a great classic. Am I listening to century old hymns, or the latest in cutting edge christian music? Every song is strikingly beautiful. From heart warming harmonies to soul moving melodies, Patty's music is
fresh, accessible and alive! As a world-traveled and conservatory-trained musician, exposed to all styles of 'rhythm and sound', I believe Ms.Chung is beginning a new genre of christian music, that finally updates traditional hymns for the 21st century.
And it is distinctively different from the 'contemporary christian' music on the market!

Hymn Factory is a music label and music brand that takes risks. Instead of going with the crowd, it breaks free from the status quo, creating exciting new music of a whole new genre. Thats right. Hymn Factory offers what no one has--Christian music that bridges the chasm between traditional hymns and contemporary Christian music, at once synthesizing tradition with innovation, by melding the compelling lyrics of the old hymns we love with sparkling new 21st century compositions and sounds we have long craved.
Modern audience is hungry for songs that are melodious, full of color and fresh. Like me, they want great lyrics that nourish the soul and renew the spirit partnered with aesthetically intellligent music, says Patty Chung , the founder and composer of Hymn Factory. Rising above the roar of the marketplace of thin unintelligible lyrics and worldly hype of the contemporary Christian music, Hymn Factory boldly proclaims the undiluted Gospel communicated through music that will last.
GUIDE ME, Hymn Factorys first pop album is a collection of melodic pop songs. The album showcases the fresh voice of the newcomer Tim Walker whose vocal quality draws easy comparisons to Chris Martin of Coldplay. Boasting catchy hummable melodies that smack of The Beatles, sacred ballad, moody jazz, country and even upbeat folk rock, the album harkens back the lost art of great songwriting.
Reviewing SUN OF MY SOUL, Hymn Factorys debut album of modern classical songs, Joseph Dermody of Greenwich writes, I hear Schubert, Brahms, Faure, Gershwin........Patty Chungs music is fresh, accessible and alive!
Under the Hymn Factory music brand, the style of music, musicians and singers can vary from album to album. What will remains consistent is the excellence of music, the beauty of the poetry, the sound of grace and hope. Trailblazing a new creative direction in Christian music, Hymn Factory aspires to become a trusted name that stands for creative excellence.
Hymn Factory is the brainchild of Patty Chung, the founder and composer of the music label. Educated in the liberal arts at Cornell, with a career history in trading located in World Trade Center, Patty Chung's life has taken a sharp turn shortly after 9/11. She now composes and produces christian hymns full time. She describes herself as "a sail caught in His wind.".
