Monica Kim

Singer songwriter Monica Kim was born in Russia and grew up in Stuttgart, immigrating with her parents to Canada in 1955. At 30 her husband bought her a piano and her musical career began. Monica's first audiences were church members and then she branched out to create her own recordings and to perform in popular hotel lounges and renowned concert halls in Canada and the United States. She has shared the stage with performers such as Engelbert Humperdinck, Rosemary Clooney, Cleo Lane and Cher. In 1989 Monica traveled to South America where she spent four years performing in Colombia, Venezuela and Argentina. She was the first Canadian to have a #1 hit record in Colombia. Subsequently, upon her return to Canada in 2002, Monica began to teach vocals and continued to write music.

The Globe and Mail Review by Stephen Godfrey 1982

"There is more than one female voice at the O'Keefe Centre this week, as there has been for the past six. Accompanying herself on piano, a singer named Monica Kim has been performing in the front lobby before each show and in the O'Keefe bar after. She has a lovely, clear soprano and when she sings Streisand standards like Evergreen, the resemblance is uncanny. In slow ballads she is impeccable. It is almost impossible to warm the O Keefe lobby, but Miss Kim, who continues to attract a good audience before each show is winning".

The Toronto Star by William Burrill 1982

Toronto's number one attraction is back for a special limited engagement at the famous Top of Toronto at The CN Tower. Join the many thousands who have returned time and again to see this extraordinary young singer in the perfect setting. World class entertainment is back and at The CN Tower.
