Kim Robben comes from a musical family. Several family members have performed at the Grand Ole Opry, so its little wonder that music runs in her blood. Kim joined her family's country band at the age of 15. She later married a violinist and raised a family. Kim began singing again during her second marriage, in which her in-laws wanted Kim to run karaoke events in the bar they owned. Kim later moved with her husband to Maine, where she joined a group called "The Natives". They performed mostly private parties until her husband's job called for a move to Virginia. She now lives in Ohio, and concentrates fully on her music. She collaborates with other virtual performers, writing her own music as well as lyrics. She is working on recording some of her original material, as well as performing live, under the name Kim Seifert, over streaming media, including concerts in the virtual world of Second Life. Kim said this of her music "...Really it is all about letting go, letting go of what is inside you, be it good, bad or whatever, and letting it come out in your voice." Kim is managed by MUSIC NOT POLITICS
