Born in New York City, from a mother who taught herself how to play the piano, a father who conducted orchestras in his mind, and a culture called Hip Hop sweeping through the heart of the city, SKIM's first language learned was music.
Now based in Los Angeles, she has emerged as a fearless singer/songwriter and poet. In 2006, she established her own production company, Mago Music, which released her first album, For Every Tear. Within days of its release, CD Baby’s executive director featured the album on the front page of the website.
SKIM’s touring continues to grow in performances across the nation—from the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival to Michelle's XXX night club, from college campuses to juvenile halls, from HBO’s Def Poetry Jam to mass demonstrations led by Korean farmers. She has been blessed by overwhelming support in Los Angeles, and has already reached the hearts of many in the Bay area, Chicago, New York City, and Seattle.
Drawing from each of her experiences and environments, she articulates herself through the music she creates, and captivates her audiences with raw honesty and charming humor. She mixes revolutionary visions and fiery rap lyrics with her sultry singing, while strumming a guitar. Her heart pounds as she drums with the passion of her Korean ancestry. Raised in New York City and presented in Los Angeles, she fuses the consciousness of third world peoples with the urban streets of U.S. cities.
SKIM convinces ears to listen, bodies to dance, and hearts to open.

The album was awesome. I'm not a hip hop fan at all, but I was totally into this entire cd. She has an amazing ability to bring art to life and make a person KNOW her story. I appreciate her artistry.

AWESOME!!!
author: BORA
Truly a talented artist. I enjoy the whole CD, I love the upbeats when I'm working out and the mellows for relaxing. THe best part of SKIM's music is her lyrics. Espcially in the Korean-American or American-Korean (me) aspect. I like how she incorporates the korean language in a way that relates to most 1.5 or 2nd generations in US... konglish. =)

Amazing CD
author: Seattle, WA
I am not a big hip hop fan, but Skim played an amazing cover of Strange Fruit at a local show I went to (Indayog2), and I had to get her CD.
Was a little sad it wasn't on here, but- oh my god, the music that is is amazing.
It is great to hear some gay korean-american music. 'She Said' instantly became one of my favorite songs.
I could not possibly recommend this CD more
