Kate Klim
Kate Klim was five years old when her family inherited a piano, 9 years old when she received her first lesson, and 11 years old when an unsuccessful audition for the film “Life with Mikey” caused her to rethink her career as a movie star. This was fortunate, because the singer/songwriter the Boston Herald has called a “best best for folk-pop stardom” then turned to music. Her newest release, “Kamikaze Love” contains her strongest songs yet, including the two than won her the New Folk competition. Produced by friend, band mate and promising new producer Brian Packer, the album is a sign that Kate is no longer trying to conform to the folk community, but rather embracing the indie-pop songwriter she has always been. The product is an honest collection of songs that Kate considers her best work yet. www.kateklim.com.
