What Am I Gonna Do

About the Artist
Kimberlee, Singer/Songwriter and Recording Artist, performs an inspiring soulful rock sound delivered to impact. The Pasadena Weekly praises, "Her CD, "Learning How to Love" – a promising showcase for her ability to belt as well as caress her hopeful lyrics – presents five songs as notable for their inspiring message as their rocking rhythms." Of her live performance, #1 Rated KUSI TV - San Diego Morning News boasts, "Kimberlee has a gift. We hear a lot of voices, but there’s some that just stop you dead in your tracks and we just want you to listen."

Having recently struck an agreement with very successful Producer/Songwriter/Keyboardist, Paul Laurence (Stephanie Mills, Johnny Gill, Kenny G, Evelyn "Champagne" King, Freddie Jackson, Melba Moore, Keith Washington, Smokey Robinson), Kimberlee has moved from the San Francisco Bay Area to Los Angeles to work on her next album with the multi-talented and award winning Producer.

Kimberlee studied voice under the world renowned Vocal Coach, Judy Davis, who trained such greats as Janis Joplin, Barbra Streisand, Grace Slick and Jefferson Starship, the Grateful Dead, Eddie Money, Steve Perry, Eric Martin of Mr. Big, En Vogue and a host of others. When Kimberlee was fifteen, she was accepted into Judy Davis’ impressive school. People Magazine writes of Davis, "A blunt, feisty singing coach with a waiting list of 600 protégés, she boasts of former clients that reads like a pop Hall of Fame...Streisand says that when she sought out Judy, "I was like a paralyzed person, having to relearn to walk"..."I’m a vocal plumber," Davis says. "I fix the pipes, that’s all."

Typically, Davis doesn’t accept students unless they are at least eighteen years of age. However, she made an exception with Kimberlee because her voice was especially mature. Kimberlee would find herself studying with Davis for nearly nine years, building one of the strongest vocal foundations possible and a prowess that would help launch her music career to unlimited heights as an adult.

Kimberlee was born at UC Hospital, San Francisco, CA two hours before Thanksgiving Day in 1968, only blocks away from the acclaimed music scene (Haight/Ashbury and Golden Gate Park) that was generating world recognition by artists like Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane, and the Grateful Dead. One might connect the uncanny proximation of her birthplace along with her own vision to have worldwide impact one day through music.

Kimberlee realized that music was a language itself at an early age. She found that it seemed to possess some kind of medicine for the heart. By the time Kimberlee was eight years old, she had decided she was going to become a singer when she grew up. She still remembers the day she told her Mom this. Kimberlee believed that one day, through a career in music, she would be able to help thousands upon thousands in the most remote places of the world that are hungering for food, clothes, and hope.

At age twelve, Kimberlee received a guitar as a gift. This encouraged her to pursue music more seriously as she garnered the attention of others for her commanding natural vocal talent accompanied by the stringed instrument. She was fortunate to be mentored under the wing of Phil St. Pierre (he performed with such greats as Louis Armstrong) one year later. This opened up many opportunities for her. For nearly three years, she would work with Phil, learning how to perform in front of large crowds, and bring joy to people through song.

Having been influenced from country, rock, folk, blues, and R&B, Kimberlee started combining the music styles and eventually developed one of her own. As Kimberlee matured, she realized her own need to express her heart through songwriting and discovered that music is one of the most powerful mediums we have for communication. "In a moment of song", she says, "hope can be restored and inspiration found". Borders Books and Music raves, "Wow! The talents of this musician are to be
