I just received an email from BMG telling me about this great new artist, Kim Kline, also named “the next diva of rock”. Here is a little info about her:
Combining the savvy of an industry veteran, the voice of an acclaimed diva, a dynamic personality and looks to die for… meet Singer/Songwriter, Kim Kline. Originally training with Ron Anderson, best known for his work with the Rolling Stones, No Doubt and Janet Jackson, Kim began developing the powerful voice she is known for today. Always looking to hone her talents, Kim now works with renowned vocal technique and performance coach Steven Memel who has trained such artists as Adam Levine and members of Maroon 5, Taryn Manning of Boomkat, Brittany Murphy and Big City Rock.
Fine tuning her music and voice, Kim began to accumulate an abundance of songs she wrote over the summer of 2004. These songs sparked the interest of acclaimed music entertainment law firm “Davis, Shapiro, Lewit, Montone and Hayes†(Linkin Park, Usher, and The Bravery.) The same day she met with Steve Shapiro, she was signed immediately.
Currently living in Los Angeles, the Texas native continues to nurture her singer/songwriter giftedness full time - creating music with the energetic spirit that has always defined her. Kim’s impeccable sense of style shines through as she performs at premiere music venues around town.
After multiple successful gigs at the renowned Viper Room, The Troubadour, the 2004 LA Marathon stage, among others, Kim Kline clearly demonstrates what she was put here to do. Look for Kim Kline to re-introduce the music industry to the roots of rock with a sexy, young, hip appeal that generates a genre all its own.
Over the past months, Kim has been writing and recording with a variety of award winning and multi-platinum selling songwriters and producers, including Ian Cross (Janet Jackson, Usher, Gwen Stefani, etc.).
Kim has also played a handful of shows throughout the past few months to sold-out crowds across Los Angeles. We were fortunate enough to have Kludge Magazine review of one of her last shows on October 22nd, 2005 at the Viper Room.
