Bio

Once Kim Wayman began recording songs on a 4-track in her bedroom as a teenager, she sometimes found it difficult to emerge from the cocoon of infinite possibilities the world suddenly presented. These days she's moved on to much bigger recording studios and a larger stage, but she keeps that 4 track in a safe place, flanked by hundreds of cassette tapes.

These are the children, her songs and inspirations, the first sparks of her life as a musician and writer. Moving to NYC straight out of college, Kim was now an avid student of surrealism, primarily it's early experimentation with words. She started playing one woman shows, encapsulating the raw, powerful presence of a fearless voice into the songs she had been gathering to share. Her stark arrangements and delivery soon gained momentum, as she began to combine her love of analog and organic sound with her affinity for electronica and computers. Live, she continued to experiment with piano, omnichord, guitar, and a myriad of vintage toys, and simultaneously made her foray into theatre.

Always enamored with the NYC art scene, Kim became involved with Art Salon, a Warholian Soho party featuring artists from around the world.

"If you enjoy being seduced, who charmed us that night was the ever wonderfully talented Kim Wayman, a spirited chanteuse with a voice approaching angelic harmonies and ethereal sensibilities, with a touch of despairing grit (the way we like it here) Miss Wayman is someone you need to be watching out for." - Scallywag and Vagabond magazine

In 2010 Kim's single Ghost Girl, penned with grammy nominated "Telepopmusik" was included on the Air France compilation, "In the Air" and licensed by Peugeot worldwide. Kim will also be featured on the long awaited Telepopmusik album set for release early 2012.

Kim tackled the iconic "I Feel Love" and "We Are The People" on UnClubbed 2, a reimagined selection of dance classics released September 2011.

"Kim Wayman's breathy take on Donna Summer's I Feel Love" would melt even an Eskimo's heart." -Hot press

LIsten for Kim's work in film and television as both singer and voice over artist. She has been the voice of Victoria's Secret, Maybelline and countless others, most recently Unicef and Pampers. The Unicef spot featured a piece called "Kiss" which created an avalanche of requests for a full length song release. In response, the producers of the spot, Yessian Music, brought Kim back in the studio to make it happen, and the result is the new single "Kiss".

Kim is working on her first full length album slated for release 2012. (she may even sneak a 4-track recording in there somewhere, we'll have to wait and see…) In the meantime, for a taste of Kim Wayman, her self titled 4 SONG EP is available at : kimwayman.bandcamp.com "Kim Wayman's voice is at once timeless and futuristic, ethereal and violent. This seemingly innocent kitten has long sharp claws that will unexpectedly hook and drag you into her world and you will not fight it. A world where nothing is what it first may seem.

A quiet whisper becomes a heavy weight hook. Watch it. A seductive and sultry chanteuse who seems to have fallen asleep in Godard's Alphaville and awoke in New York's East Village 40 years later. A truly uncommon talent in our cookie cutter age" -Scenic, NYC
