Kim
Kim specialised in Musical Theatre and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts Degree. This provided Kim with opportunities to perform in venues such as, The West Yorkshire Playhouse, Hull Truck Theatre and the Leeds Grand. Kim continued her studies at Rose Bruford in London working with various artistic companies performing roles in musicals such as ‘Witches of Eastwick’, ‘Hair’ and ‘Hello, Dolly!’, as well as Pantomime roles to name a few.

Through travelling around various parts of the world for a year, Kim has been inspired by different cultures, which influences her unique style and craft. Kim continues to perform solo artist work at various private functions and wedding receptions with experienced musicians, but she is so delighted to now be a part of ‘The Hummingbirds’ close vocal harmony trio and is looking forward to the birds flying high.
