Album Notes

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.
