KIM JAY

Kim Jay, a singer/songwriter from Chicago, had an early introduction to music through singing in church. That early exposure helped to cultivate her writing skills, as she would create new songs during church services while the music played. She received an unexpected introduction to House Music through Jerry C King of Kingdom Digital Music Group, when asked to help out with some background vocals for a Marshall Jefferson track at FMG recording studios. Her vocals were rich and soulful, and from that moment, her house connection was born. One of her first releases was “Saved my Soul," a gospel infused house track, originally released on DJ International.
Kim continued her journey in music and composed more songs. Additionally, she was nominated as 'Best New Entertainer' by the Chicago Music Awards in 2013. She has also graced the stages of the Chosen Few Picnic, one of Chicago’s most noted annual events for House Music, with the pioneers of House. Her performance at the Pritzker Pavilion, in downtown Chicago, with a live house music band, was the first of its kind. In 2016, Kim reached the House Music Soulful charts top 10 with her cover of Evelyn Champagne King's “Feel Like Making Love”. Her music is being enjoyed across the globe with remixes being done by producers such as, Craig Loftus, Malik B, Steve Miggedy Maestro and Ondagroove. In addition, she has worked with some of House Music's greatest legends including Curtis McClain (Move Your Body), Harry Dennis (Donnie), Anthony Thomas, Joe Smooth (Promise Land) and Tommy Thumbs (It's You). The energy and passion she brings in her performances is electric.
