Kim Jarrett is a lover of love songs, harmonies, and 70s soft FM. Her music's been called real, her voice stellar, and her songs excellent, by reviewers and fans.

A multi-instrumentalist and award-winning songwriter, she has released two independent cds, and enjoys adult contemporary, college and CBC radio play across Canada. Her song "How Long" can be found on Philips mp3 products sold worldwide, and has earned over 12,000 streams and multiple Top 10 awards from the fan site, ourstage.com.

Kim maintains a busy performance schedule of 150 shows a year in and around Toronto with her longtime bassist/producer, Mike Costantino. Their showcase and festival spots have seen them share stages with Canadian 80s pop sensations, The Spoons, and American folk darling, Melissa Ferrick, and together, they can also be found in the backing bands of other Toronto-based artists such as Elana Harte. Since 2006 they also hosted a weekly Tuesday night songwriter jam that began at Gypsy Co-op, moved west to Liberty Bistro, found a home for three years at Slack's, and returned to the Liberty Bistro. Beginning May 2011, Kim & Mike continue to bring free live music to the heart of Toronto with a Sunday night jam at Spirits Bar & Grill, featuring an eclectic mix of local acts, in addition to the other fine musicians who drop in to share their talents.

Kim is always working on new material and enjoys co-writing with other artists, as well as her work in other projects as backing vocalist and drummer. She is also an accredited FACTOR (Foundation to Assist Canadian Talent on Recordings) juror, and proudly supports United Way Toronto, donating a percentage of her cd and download sales.
