about
Kim is back - Kim Hoorweg (1992) was introduced to Trijntje Oosterhuis already at a young age, by her father, jazz pianist Erwin Hoorweg. Trijntje inspired Kim to sing jazz songs. At the age of fourteen, Universal Music offered her a record contract which made her the ‘youngest female artist ever’ on Verve. In 2007 her first cd, "Kim is Back" was released after which she performed at The North Sea Jazz Festival and with Trijntje Oosterhuis and the Metropole Orchestra, in the Heineken Music Hall. 2nd CD: "My Recipe for a Happy Life" - In 2009 her second CD album "My Recipe for a Happy Life" is released, also on Verve. In the mean time, she has grown into a singer who writes all her songs by herself and manages to get musical giants like Prince-keyboard player Chance Howard, Candy Dulfer, Trijntje Oosterhuis and Perquisite to perform with her on her second CD. Her CD is very well received by the press. | Oor: "This really belongs to the top. Kim is going to be very big." | HP de Tijd: " A great voice and a top-of-the-bill band.” | Jazz Magazine: "Surprising, fresh, mature and convincing" Concerts - In the meantime Kim is performing frequently, with different line-ups. She performs at the BIMHUIS, the Lantaren-Venster and at the Concertgebouw and tours theaters across the country with her own programme. She is featured as the main act at many well-known festivals, like The Hague Jazz, Grolsch International Jazz Festival, Jazz in Duketown, Amersfoort Jazzfestival and IJsseljazz
