Well, my stage name before as a performing artist was KIMXUAN which means golden spring in vietnamese. Some people found it hard to understand so I dropped the 'uan' and just made it KIMX. The X left it open to the imagination about what I am all about...

I used to sing live in night clubs in San Jose, CA and Las Vegas, NV but now I'm just in the studio working on my album.

The internet leaves a whole new open market to small independent labels like myself. It gives artists the oppurtunities that to which otherwise would not be possible due to lack of big time investors.

Depends on what kind of contract though I plan on staying independant.

KIMX always had a song in her heart and a dance to her feet. She wrote her 1st song at 5 years old told in a story by her father. "The thing I remember most as a child was...I always loved to sing.."

Seeing that she was gifted in the performing arts, her parents started her adolecent training in dancing, including ballet at 5 and tap and jazz dancing to the following years not to mention her training in the martial arts and others such as ballroom dancing to other distingushed arts.

Following a hardened life,...KIMX started her profession singing live in Vietnamese Clubs and Restarants in the Bay Area.
"I really didn't know how to speak
Vietnamese that well as a child,...but
hearing the music around me, sparked a
thirst for my lost heritage and salvation."

In 1997 she moved to Las Vegas to run and manage a Vietnamese Restarant & Bar.
"At the time...most restarants and bars
had karaoke every night ...for
we, ..Vietnamese love to sing...I saw it
an oppurtunity to get some live shows
going on so we gathered up a band and
took seized the oppurtunity...The asians
there were thirsty for some good old live
entertainment. At that time we truly
benefitted from Las Vegas and it's
generous tourists..."

Homesick, KIMX returned to her home town San Jose to do a few private parties and stage appearances until she was introduced to a producer. In attempts to make an album... her producer saw something more in her so instead of just turning her into another "Brittney Spears" story he decided to let her draw out of herself her natural talent, beauty and grace,...and also her other side... her cut- throaght, honest perspective personality which she gained from a rough childhood.
"I was so mad at him for not just making
me fake. Now I am in debt for not letting
me take the easy way..."

Since the beginning of her mentorship, she has been working on her music. Doing everything from making the beats...to adding full instruments to her songs. Every instrument note by note she plays and re-plays until she gets it right. Being familiar of softwares and their capabilities, she often spends much of her time perfecting the playing of each of the different instruments in her songs.
"It's a little stressed sometimes when I
lose my focus. I don't know how to read
music or anything. I just know what I
feel, and play. It is my expression, my
feelings. Then after I get it down...I
have to go over what it was I felt...
and teach myself how to feel it again.."

Soon she will be releasing her album...
"I am so excited yet also so nervous at
times but I just try to remember that
if nobody else likes it...It's ok cuz I
like it and that's good enough for me...."

As of now she is working on her album to meet the expected release.
"It's hard doing it all alone, but I know,
in the end...It'll be well worth the time
and energy!..."

All of the artists I grew up with are an influence to me, from Pachelbel to Madonna. I've learned much from all that is around me but my greatest influence is My Father, who taught me how to recognize different layers of instruments in classicals and singing styles and my mother who taught me that making music doesn't need elaborate equipment, just a pair of chopsticks,clapping hands and an uplifting soul ready to sing.

On Stage, Any City, Any State, Any Country.
Live shows are magic...
