Singer/songwriter Kimberly Korn has had stars in her eyes and glitter in her hair since she was a little girl. Mesmerized by Broadway, Barbies and Ballerinas, Kimberly began dancing at 2 1/2 years old and rarely took off her recital costumes. Always the entertainer, Kimberly put on weekly song and dance shows for the neighborhood adding comedy in between to get a rise out of the audience. As a member of the elementary school choir, Kimberly preferred tutus and sequins over her choir uniform and didn't like harmonizing as part of a group. Her choir teacher suggested she study privately with famed-vocal coach Russell Faith in Philadelphia. After several years of vocal training, Kimberly was itching to break into the New York music scene. She spent her adolescent years shuttling between Philadelphia and New York doing the "Fame" thing: attending Stagedoor Manor Performing Arts Camp, dancing with the Joffrey Ballet and choreographers Mia Michaels and Debbie Allen, and singing roles in Broadway workshops, such as Meatloaf-producer Jim Steinman's "Paradise" and "Carrie: The Musical." Addicted to learning more about the performing arts, Kimberly soon discovered avant-garde theatre works by writers Samuel Beckett, Bertolt Brecht and Edward Albee and was immediately drawn to the concept of showing an audience a truth that they may not want to see. 

Although she grew up in a small town in Pennsylvania, Kimberly came back to her New York roots to hone her performing and songwriting skills, settling in Manhattan's East Village while attending NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. She began integrating her newfound independence and her awareness of the ruthlessness and reality of life into her musical compositions. Kimberly made a name for herself performing at various local clubs such as the Bitter End and Arlene’s Grocery, incorporating her passion for theatre, dance, music and outrageous fashion. Sensitive to the human condition, Kimberly creates bad ass bitch pop music that attests to life’s struggles.

Writing about situations such as burning an ex’s possessions (Love Lose Learn) and admitting to being completely imperfect (Broken Inside), Kimberly captures the essence of what it is like to push the boundaries of what is accepted as the norm. She was awarded Best New Writer by the Songwriter's Hall of Fame, an ASCAP Songwriting award and was 1 of 15 people selected to BMI's Pop songwriting workshop.

With an ear to her surroundings, Kimberly brings the soundtrack of life's hardships to her audience.
