Kim Parent
Kim Parent has been called The Singers Singer- and for good reason. Shes backed up many of todays biggest stars. Her vocals can be heard on CDs by Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, Jo Dee Messina, Reba Mc Entire, Joe Diffie, Sherrie Austin, Jessica Andrews, Aaron Tippin, Billy Rae Cyrus, Kenny Rogers, Don Williams, Phil Vasser, and many other artists.
Kim was listed in Music Row Magazines Top Ten Award for singing on the most country hits of 2001. Kim is also an experienced live performer. Shes performed with Brooks and Dunn, Martina McBride, Billy Dean, Tammy Cochran, Billy Gilman, Rodney Crowell, Lynne Anderson and Tanya Tucker. Kim has toured nationally with The Scorpions and appeared on numerous TV shows, including NBCs Late Night with Craig Kilborn, and the 2001 and 2003 Country Music Awards Broadcast.
Kim began her career in music singing at coffee houses while attending the University of Delaware. She then returned to her home state of New Jersey in order to showcase original material in nearby New York City. These showcases eventually landed her the publishing deal which moved her to Nashville, where she and her husband (newlyweds!) permanently reside.
Kim signed a publishing deal with Zomba Music in 1992, and again in the late 90s with Don Goodman music. Shes had songs cut by other artists, and she has also written and recorded jingles for radio and television. Kim wrote, produced, and sang two versions of the Lets Make it a Late Night jingle campaign for Wendys.
Kim is to release her long-awaited CD titled When Love Was Just A Word in May 2004.
