About Me
My name is Kimber Sparks. I'm quite a sassy chic, and I love my country music. I'm a singer who grew up in SWEET HOME ALABAMA, on Buttercup Road...a tiny part of the world that tucked away in the hills. I have some amazing memories of growing up, and music was always part of those memories. These memories definately influenced who I am as an artist. I'm not trying to be like anybody else - just Kimber, and I'm pretty good at that =) I simply want to share my life experiences through my songs. As for why I've chosen a career onstage, I think it's because of something my Grandma used to say to me when I was growing up. She used to tell me, 'You never know when something you say or do might be someone else's saving-grace - when you might be their angel.' I ain't never claimed to be an angel, but I do hope something I say or do will touch people somehow. Plus I'm a 'talker' from way back, and I don't see that changing anytime soon! So, rather than sitting on some random street talking to myself, I reckon singing allows me to do it a bit more gracefully *smiles* I moved to Australia's Gold Coast for university in 2001 - New Year's Day to be exact. Yes, they do have universities in America - and no, I was not running from the FBI or anything as exciting =o) The truth is, I just wanted to make a change in my life - and I did exactly that. A year or so after moving to Australia, I got a lucky break in the country music industry when I was 'discovered' singing at the Great Western Hotel in Rockhampton by Lee Kernaghan. For those of you interested in this story, I've placed all this 'bio' information in my blog section so you can have a read about it. It's also available on my official website, along with lots of other good stuff. Now if you have a look on there, there's some good stuff on there for you =) Take a look if you like ~ www.KimberSparks.com......... I've completed a new album with one of Australia's most respected musicians - Bill Chambers. It's an exciting time in my career, and I very much look forward to sharing it with yall. I'm also a full-time university student (only one course until I finish my MBA). I've been studying non-stop for the past 8 years, and to be honest - I'm a bit addicted to learning!!! I fully believe that 'EDUCATION IS EMPOWERMENT'! I guess that's about all. When I finally fulfill all my dreams, I'm gonna buy myself an old mule, some chickens, a goat, tons of pound dogs, and a bird that whistles. I'll put 'em all on a patch of land tucked away in the woods somewhere with a long dirt road, that has a mailbox shaped like an old milk bottle. I'll have speakers in the trees - just like the hillbilly I am, that will play nothing but soppy country music like the Statler Bros., the Possum, Janie Frickie, Vern Gosdin, Merle, Waylon, John Conlee, Loretta Lynn, Joe Diffie, Conway, Sammy Kershaw, Dolly, and anything else I take a notion to play. Anyway, there you go - a peak into my past, present and future! However, I still have a whole bunch to do before I change my address for the last time- so until then, I sure hope you like what you hear. Feel free to drop me a message or comment if you have a minute. Until then ~ thank yall for stopping by and enjoy your stay in 'MySpaceVille'.Cheerios ~ Kimber :o)---------------------------ADD ME ON FACEBOOK: Search 'KIMBER SPARKS'
