Kim Yang 楊予菁

Inspired by Joni Mitchell and Bon Iver, Taiwanese-Australian songstress Kim Yang writes music on love, life and mental health issues with evocative lyrics, driving melodies and soaring vocals. Her ethereal blend of sounds balances delicately between vulnerability and power.

Kim's musical journey began in her youth, evolving into a fervent passion that took her from intimate bookshops to national television. In 2022, she was nominated as Artist of the Year by MusicACT. Highlights of 2023 and 2024 included her debut at Cambridge Folk Festival, Woodford Folk Festival, performances at Jade Music Festival, and a nomination for Best Live Voice (ACT) in the National Live Music Awards.
