The Official (Short) Bio:

Kim Davidson’s entertainment career is as varied as it is long. Over the past 20 years her performance history has included musical theater and dance, film and television work, a cruise ship revue, a variety of cabaret and dinner theater acts, two acoustic duos, one wedding band, and two country bands performing covers before she finally set out on her own to fulfill the dream of performing her own music. As a writer Kim has a penchant for melancholy, love-lorn fare. She balances moody, emotional lyrics against often upbeat melody lines, while her voice lends itself with a range and scope of sound few possess, running the gamut from fragile to sultry to bring-the-house-down & every nuance in between. Kim is a graduate of AMDA, New York and current student of Andover Educators, studying to teach the course “What Every Musician Needs To Know About The Body.” Her debut album, “Free Therapy” is set for release in mid-2008.

"A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME" by KD

So I'm somewhere between step 1 and step 4,372... long way to go, but I can look back on a few milestones and smile or grimace as the case may be.

Where'd I start? In the neighborhood. "The sun'll come out tomorrow, betcha bottom dollar that tomorrow there'll be sun..." At the top of my lungs, with the help of many other "orphans" 'til the neighbors wanted to just take us out with slingshots or whatever was handy.

Went on to be a musical theater maven in high school, and even went off to New York for official study at the American Musical & Dramatic Academy. Our housing was directly on top of the famed Beacon Theater... can't wait to play there some day, just for the full-circle-ness of it.

Did some cruise ship work, was a lounge lizard for a brief time, then entered the nunnery and learned about the non-glory of being the company swing.

Next was wedding band hell. Play that funky music to the luh-uh-uhve shack. It wasn't for me.

Acoustic duo here I come! Jumped through some hoops for some people you could meet here on MySpace, and was ultimately not rewarded for the efforts. Oh, the circuit is so cliquey and boys like to swing their you-know-whats around for all the world to cower at. You want in on the circuit? Beg me... Beat it!

I was successful anyway, and yet still unfulfilled. Needed a little more twang in my groove. Started playing in a country band by the name of DiggerDawg, and soon traded up to another band which we called STAMPEDE. After a year-and-a-half we ended the ride to pursue our individual hearts' desires.

For me, there was always that little part of my soul that still needed flexing. It's a little too cranky for country. A little too poetic I was told by some people at TAXI. Well, it is what it is. I write what demands writing in the moment and if it doesn't fit in the proper slot, so be it. Hopefully some of you will like it anyway.
