| About Kim Davis Music | Just imagine: You're in the city of broken dreams and endless hustle with little money and even less experience. You've tried to make a name for yourself in your home city of Toronto and after little success; you try your hand in New York City. The drive from JFK Airport is jerky but so are your nerves and just when the words "what am I doing here?" take form in your mind, something incredible interrupts your thoughts. This is your boy, the King of New York, Funk Master Flex and right about now I gotta hit ya'll with a hot new joint featuring a hot new artist. This girl is going to be the next big thing you've heard it here first. It's Sizzla and Kim Davis with Hush. "Turn up the radio!" you scream at the driver. TJust as the volume is lifted you hear your own voice rise miles above the street vendor's and screeching sirens: "Picture me and you and you and me, k-i-s-s-i-n-g." The world stops, tears fall and all self-doubt fades to black. It's the very first time you have ever heard your song Hush on the radio. And to boot, that radio station just happens to be the world famous Hot 97. That was two years ago and to say that things have changed would be a gross understatement. The leggy R&B singer/ songwriter is the 1 unsigned R&B artist on Myspace Canada and the only female artist period on the site with over one million music plays. If you live in Toronto, and your house doesn't happen to be under a rock, you have heard of Kim Davis. If you live in America it won't be long before that same statement applies to you. Kim was raised amidst adversity and forced to grow up through tragedy. Davis has been described by the media as a talent "who has the love, courage and the lyrics to pen a woman's evolution; beautifully." In return Davis accepts that challenge and dares to exceed it. "I am a woman capable of many things," says Davis steadily. "God has blessed me with a gift that I believe I am destined to share." Sharing is precisely what Davis has done. Without even releasing an album yet Kim has been listed as the top Myspace Canada, R&B artist, has been nominated for 2 Stylus Awards for Canadian R&B Single of the Year and has won 2 awards at Buffalo's WBLK's Unsigned Hype Awards for Best Female Artist of the Year and People's Choice Artist. Much of Kim's success can be attributed to her approachability. Her fans have the unique privilege of wholly relating to Kim on every conceivable level just by pressing play. Not since the likes of Mary J. Blige has any female artist been so forthcoming and refreshingly honest. So what happens when you mix divine talent with music that is both candid and emotionally fearless? Radio appearances on New York's internationally famed Hot 97, Buffalo's WBLK 93.7 FM, CBC's national Radio One, Toronto's leading urban station Flow 93.5 FM and SIRIUS Satellite Radio Magazine features in Canadian National Magazines such as Cream World, Expose', Peace and Sway International print coverage in Fader Magazine, The Ave Magazine, Urban Voice and Hip Hop Japan.
