Kym’s roots began in Stettler, Alberta. She was born into a musical family and followed in the rhythmic beats of her parents and grandparents as they sang and played for various community events. While Kym was performing at her high school graduation ceremony, she instinctively made music her career path. Before Kym knew it, she was performing National Anthems, singing at concerts, festivals, and discovering that music was an entire way of life.

The energy Kym eludes on stage is incredible. Her audiences are always the “priority”, whether it is getting fans to join her on stage, or walking into the crowd so everyone can dance and sing along. This is what has made Kym’s music dreams become reality.

There you have it Ladies and Gentlemen, Kym Simon!
