Kim has been performing in and around Wilmington, NC since 2006. Her original songs are sometimes humorous, sometimes heartbreaking, in a style that runs the gamut from heartfelt folk to upbeat pop rock. She also offers unique interpretations of cover songs ranging from the classics to current top 40.
Kim is also a member of Folkstar, a folk-rock project with guitarist Sue Cag. They have toured both U.S. coasts and released three albums to date. The follow-up to their 2011 debut, "Emotional Bootcamp", a 16 track folk-rock cornucopia called "Loud and Clear", was released in 2013, and their most recent release, "Treelines and Skylines" is an introspective commentary about nature and mortality released in 2015. They are currently working on their fourth album to be released sometime in 2018. You can check out Folkstar at http://folkstar.net or like Folkstar on Facebook.
