Overview
Hey there! Are you looking for someone to set the tone for your event? Be the soothing background music? Provide some entertainment while people can still hold a conversation? I’m your gal! Singing while playing keyboard, I sing soulful, contemporary ambience music. I can do pop covers, soul, jazz standards, or a mixture of all of these. Think Adele, Alicia Keys, Colbie Callait, Sara Bareilles and Norah Jones. Solo gigging for 14 years, I have an extensive repertoire and can take requests for any event. Please let me make YOUR event special. I cannot wait to work with you!

Not only was Kimberly the perfect addition to my wedding as a musician, she was gracious, professional, and added to the cheer of the occasion. Anyone looking for live music for any occasion, especially the special ones would massively benefit from having Kimberly be a part of it.

I posted on Thumbtack that I was looking for an acoustic guitarist for a 75 - 100 person cocktail hour to play for just an hour. Kimberly reached out to me and asked if I would consider an keyboardist. I am so thankful she did. As this was a charity event, the fee fit nicely into my budget and it was the perfect background music for people to mingle and hear some great songs we all recognize. THANK YOU, Kimberly.

I've been lucky enough to see Kimberly work her musical magic across a myriad of stages from weddings to concert halls. No matter the size of the venue, she consistently draws her audience in with powerful but intimate vocals and stunning piano arrangements. Her repetoir includes contemporary takes on classics as well as stunning original material. Time and time again, Kimberly has proven to be a master of her craft, adding impactful musical moments to any setting she enters.
