My biggest influences are The Creator, my beautiful Family, Nature, and the many Ancestors who have paved the way for me are my biggest influences. However, I have to pay homage to these phenomenal artists whom I love. They have inspired me to grow into the artist that I am today, and for that I am eternally grateful!!!!!!

BIOGRAPHY:
Kimberly has been wowing audiences with her vocal abilities since the age of three. Some say she was born with a microphone in her hand. This native of Atlanta, Georgia gained her interest in music listening to many of the Soul, Funk, and Jazz classics in her older siblings' collections. Since then she has honed her skills playing instruments and lending her vocal and instrumental talents to many of the musical organizations on the campus of Florida A&M University. These include the Infamous Marching "100", Symphonic Band, Percussion Ensemble, Clarinet Choir, Concert Choir and Jazz Band. This is where her love for Jazz & Classical music manifested itself. As a student, Kimberly performed for many conferences, festivals, and venues across the country and abroad. Upon graduating from FAMU, Kimberly, then moved to the Atlanta area where she established herself as a performer within the soul stirring musical community, continuing to captivate audiences with her unique style and enigmatic presence. In 2005, Kimberly released her self-titled debut album, which has gained critical acclaim within the United States and abroad. She has been featured on radio stations and compilations as a result of her many talents. The vocal nuances this earthy sister brings to music are reminiscent of her greatest soul influences, imbued with a hint of Jazz. Although this musician, songwriter, and vocal arranger loves recording, she absolutely lives for performing and connecting with her audience. When you experience one of her shows, you may catch her playing percussion, dancing or battling her musicians vocally on the microphone. The vocal arrangements that come to life through her background will entice you. She lives in a world of harmony, which sets her apart from most of the vocalists this day and age. Kimberly recently moved to the Los Angeles area to begin a new chapter of her musical career. Since the move, she and her band have been performing in many venues within the Los Angeles area. You will not want to miss this soulful vocalist!
