- The New York Times

 

Jim Wolf is an American singer-songwriter from the New York City area, best known for his 2012 hit single “Make You My Lady,” which has remained a consistent presence on South Korea’s pop charts. The song’s widespread success led to a publishing partnership with K-Pop publisher MusicCube under the Peermusic Group, all while Wolf continued to operate independently as an artist.

​

Blending pop melodies with indie sensibilities, Wolf draws inspiration from a wide range of genres. His songwriting is marked by heartfelt, introspective lyrics that explore themes of love, heartbreak, and self-discovery. This authenticity and vulnerability have become hallmarks of his music, forging a strong and personal connection with listeners.

​

For more than a decade, Jim Wolf’s music has remained a fixture on South Korea’s Top 100 charts, at times outperforming global superstars such as Ed Sheeran, Adele, Beyoncé, and Taylor Swift.

​

Wolf’s catalog has also enjoyed extensive media exposure, with songs featured in over 100 television shows and films, including projects from CBS, Sony Pictures, Warner, TBS, KBS, and MBN. Among the most notable placements is his song “Just To Be With You,” which was featured in The Young and the Restless during its groundbreaking same-sex relationship storyline. In the episode, the cast performed the song as part of the narrative for the show’s first same-sex couple, culminating in their on-screen marriage.

​

Throughout his career, Wolf has shared the stage with a diverse range of artists, including Chris Thile (Nickel Creek), Eric Hutchinson, Ryan Cabrera, Jason LeVasseur, and The Alternate Routes. Early on, he honed his craft at New York City’s underground open mics, performing alongside artists such as Charley Crockett and comedian Mark Normand.
