About Me

Kim Tillman is a singer, songwriter and guitarist originally from San Diego, now living in the Bay Area. Her most recent solo endeavor is a totally stripped-down, chilled-out, acoustic album that is a marriage of jazz, folk and blues sounds.Kim grew up listening to her parents’ favorite music. She says, “Dad always had us listening to James Brown, Marvin Gaye, the Temptations, Stevie Wonder--a lot of Motown, a lot of 60’s soul music. Mom dug singers like Carole King, Bill Withers and Michael Jackson. I had a nice balance of really funky and very chill music around when I was a kid.”Her current projects include hustling her Acoustic EP in the Bay Area, working on an as-yet-untitled hip-hop demo with Sam Buquen (vocals, Cigorillo), a fellow alum from Dominican University of California’s weekly open mic, Perceptions. After graduating from Dominican, Kim realized that in all the time she was in school, she never once took a music class. She is currently studying music performance and theory at Laney College in Oakland.She’s looking forward to taking on the coming year by putting together more live performances, and getting back into the studio to record her first full length album.
