  • Bio

    Born Kimie (pronounced Kimi-ay) Kauikeolani Miner, in Hawaii, this 25 year old singer/songwriter has developed an eclectic musical style all her own. Her parents, of Hawaiian and Portugese decent, noticed her unmistakable talent at a very young age. “I fell in love with music as a child and it naturally just became apart of my life. It is my mother, my brother, my best friend, and my first love. No matter where I am in my life, I know I can always turn to music.” .... A self taught guitarist and song writer, Kimie perfected her songwriting skills and grew as a musical artist while boarding at Kamehameha Schools in Honolulu . “India.Arie inspired me to pick up a guitar when I was 14 years old and write from my heart. Other artists like Lauryn Hill and Erykah Badu showed me how to be an individualist and remain true to myself." ...... Kimie’s signature style weaves acoustic soul, Hawaiian, reggae, and a touch of R&B and funk, into cool sultry melodies. Her free spirit can be heard through her lyrics touching on love, life, and relationships. “When something happens in my life, whether good or bad, I can almost immediately hear it being sung to a melody. Each situation creates a different mood. The words follow.” Her lyrics prove universal, spanning race, gender, and age. ...... Kimie has toured the west coast opening for reggae pioneer Barrington Levy. She has also collaborated with reggae’s most prolific production team, Sly and Robbie, She has traveled the world, living and recording in Jamaica, Hong Kong, Tahiti and Hawai’i. ...... Kimie took the initiative to start her own recording process, taking total creative control in putting her EP album together. -Justin Kaho’onei.

About Kimie'

Kimie' is a singer/songwriter from Hawaii. Her parents, of Hawaiian and Portugese decent, noticed her unmistakable talent at a very young age. “I fell in love with music as a child and it naturally just became apart of my life. No matter where I am in my life, I know I can always turn to music.”
“My music is very personal to me and it was something I liked to keep to myself. I guess you could say I was a kind of a closet musician at first,” admits Kimie, who taught herself to play the guitar in high school. “Meeting reggae legend Barrington Levy changed that for me. Being on stage and the road with him really inspired me to pursue my own musical career.” Kimie’s signature style weaves acoustic soul and reggae with a touch of R&B and funk, into cool sultry melodies. Her free spirit can be heard through her lyrics touching on love, life, and relationships. “There can always be something good to come out of the bad and I like finding beautiful surprises in things,” she says. “Love is so inspiring because it’s so unpredictable and confusing, but wonderful at the same time.” “Although my musical genre is not Hawaiian, it is rooted in Hawaiian music,” states Kimie. “No matter what we as Hawaiian people do, we should always have the perpetuation of our culture in mind.” "I'm so blessed to have found my passion. It has allowed me the opportunity to travel and see the world. But sometimes the best place to be inspired is home in Hawaii! I love when I can get together with my friends and we kanikapila (play music) on the beach,” says Kimie. “We have the moon as our spotlight, the sand as our stage, and little need for anything else.”
