About Me

Kim Lawson is one of Sydney’s up and coming musical talents. In 2005 he graduated from the Conservatorium of Music under the teachings of some of the most prominent musical voices in Australia’s music scene, Dale Barlow, Dave Panichi, and Judy Bailey just to name a few. Kim has been playing professionally in and around Sydney for 7 years in a number of musical settings, from Jazz, Latin and Funk ensembles to 18 piece big bands. Some of these groups include The Rhino Factory Big Band, Rastawookie, Dr Feelgood, Mezkla, and The Cold Ride Home and Kim Lawson’s Oh Quartet among others. Kim Lawson is definitely a cat on the scene with sharp claws, and someone who you will be hearing a lot more of in the near future.
