bio

Known for their signature subversive gusto only complemented with a down-to-earth, human vulnerability, Kimmortal (they/them) flows between singing and rapping over pop-layered hip hop beats bending musical genres and exploring sounds and lyrical intricacies. Kimmortal second album “X marks the Swirl” (2019) was nominated for a Polaris and their 3rd album “Shoebox” (2023) expresses the journey from healing intergenerational trauma to celebrating the 2SLGBTQ+ community and their inner child. Their notable sync highlights include their single "This Dyke” appearing on “The L Word: Generation Q” and “Animal Pride”. This past year Kim’s original music for “Sort Of” (out now on HBO, CBC) won Best Original song for Canadian Screen Awards and their music video “Blue and Orange” received Best Music Video at Disorient Asian American film festival.

Kimmortal’s newest release will be their EP “SUNNIEST OF DAYS” dropping June 11 featuring artists Shad K, Super Duty Tough Work, and Nimkish with music produced with their bandmates. This release will be followed by a North American Tour this summer.
