Since the age of 2, singer/songwriter/dancer Kimberly Korn has always had an obsession with being on stage. Taking up ballet lessons at 2 1/2 years old, Kimberly would seldom take off her recital costumes. Then a night out with her parents at the Joffrey Ballet sealed her fate. “I announced to my parents that night that I was going to be dancing with the Joffrey Ballet one day,” Kimberly recalls. And sure enough, with over a decade of ballet lessons, hard work and determination, Kimberly auditioned and won a spot on Joffrey’s roster when she was 14. But eventually Kimberly’s aspirations turned from pirouettes to rock ‘n roll.
Soon after her performance training, Kimberly began her hand at songwriting. Her real life experiences in New York City—including “sucky relationships”—provided inspiration for her songs.
Kimberly’s songs are very personal and cover a wide range of her own emotions—self-doubt, insecurity, self-identity, ambition,
disappointments, love, lust, anger, etc. Despite the angry/painful subject matter, Kimberly’s songs are always very upbeat and lively—much like how her inner pain is masked by her bright, upbeat attitude and appearance. “No matter how many times I’ve been hurt,” says Kimberly, “I always manage to stay positive.”
