Alice Kim might be carving her path in the world of alternative-indie and RnB, but her sound is universal: intimate, relatable and unapologetically human. If her music feels like it knows you, it’s because she’s singing straight from the heart.

Hailing from a small Midlands village, Kim’s early musical interest came from her parents’ 80s record collection, stacks of sister's burnt RnB CDs, and endless hours with a Sony Walkman. When she moved to Leeds aged 18, Kim began to perform and write with different band outfits (New Position, Tete de Pois, Belgrave House Band). Only in the last couple of years has Alice Kim broken away to mark a new path as a solo artist.

Kim began creating cute, funky, soulful demos on a cracked version of Abelton, and slowly began to create a sound that was DIY in its production, but packed full of emotive melodies. She was picked up by Launchpad + and from there, has soared over the last year with radio plays, festival runs and now, a UK tour.

Kim's Debut EP, "PLAYER TWO", unveils her vulnerability, showcasing a certain maturity that comes with over a decade of understanding herself as an artist. Kim explores the uncertainty and milestones of being in your late 20s, with warm production and soulful emotionally charged songwriting that feels both fresh and familiar. Although heartfelt, the magic really lies in the live shows - with a lighthearted delivery, Kim creates a comfortable intimate show, delivering incredible vocals accompanied by an exceptional band. Don't miss this opportunity to be part of a show featuring one of the country's finest up and coming vocalists.

Support comes from another rising star singer/songwriter based in Leeds....Eve Buckley. Already well established on the Leeds music scene, recently her music has found a wider audience via radio plays on BBC 6 Music and particularly Jazz FM (including a live in studio session for the latter's Tony Minvielle show). She brings a rich and authentic hybrid of soul, soft rock and jazz influenced styles reminiscent of artists such as Lianne La Havas, Paolo Nutini and Joy Crookes. Discovering her love of music at a young age thanks to artists ranging from Florence & The Machine to Jeff Buckley, her eclectic array of inspiration shines through her stunning lyricism and songwriting. With such a distinctive voice she is able to captivate any room, leaving her audience mesmerised through the storytelling of her journey from adolescence to adulthood. Honing her craft whilst studying at university, her continually developing creative voice is setting her to be an exciting emerging artist. Check out her debut EP "Some Kind Of Solace" and get down early to catch her and the band live.
