Best Kept Secrets proudly announces the onboarding of Kimmy, an emerging A&R talent whose path into music began with a single unforgettable childhood moment. During a kindergarten Thanksgiving her grandmother yelled at her to “sing louder” and in that instant Kimmy found her voice. That spark led her into choir orchestra and band shaping the intuitive ear and emotional intelligence she brings to artist development today.
Kimmy’s musical foundation runs deep. By age 19 she was fully immersed across multiple disciplines understanding how melody arrangement and performance intertwine. Now as Best Kept Secrets newest A&R she blends raw instinct with a genuine passion for helping artists reach their highest potential.
Influenced by the Ones Who Made It
While many cite celebrity mentors, Kimmy’s inspiration comes from those closest to her.
“A lot of my friends are really hard working and have made it out in the music industry. They push me every day to be as great as them.”
Their success fuels her drive and shapes her eye for talent with authenticity rather than ego or entitlement.
A Woman Navigating a Complicated Industry
Kimmy is candid about the challenges women face in entertainment.
“People assume it’s easy for girls to get into the industry because of looks or status. The real challenge is turning who you know into something professional setting boundaries and staying focused. I look at the people who inspire me and remind myself not to doubt who I am. I know I’m going to make it.”
Her strength self awareness and emotional intelligence set her apart as a nurturing yet decisive force inside Best Kept Secrets.
A Visionary Ear for Hits
When asked what makes a great A&R Kimmy’s answer is simple
“You need to be able to hear a number one hit before it’s even made. It’s about connecting the right music to the right artist or even the audience. It’s understanding influence across every type of sound.”
Her approach focuses on matching sound with story instinct with opportunity and artist with their strongest creative lane.
What She Would Change About the Industry
Kimmy’s perspective on the music industry goes deeper than trends or business practices
“If I could change anything I would change everything” she laughs. “Saying you want to change the music industry is like saying you want to change the world. Everything in the world is music. It sounds sentimental and corny but that’s really how I see it.”
Still through her lived experience one change stands out
“I would remove the feeling that everything is a competition. Artists already battle themselves every day. They should not have to battle the industry too.”
Her empathy underscores a bigger mission helping create safe collaborative spaces where artists thrive without comparison or politics.
A Breakout Year Built on Gratitude and Authenticity
Despite being in the industry for only a year Kimmy has already built meaningful connections and participated in experiences that many take years to reach.
“I am very blessed to have the opportunities I have had and to know the people I know. I have been able to meet so many different people and discover sides of this industry I did not even know existed.”
When asked about her biggest accomplishment so far she keeps it real
“Honestly being myself” she says with a laugh. “That is the vaguest answer I can give because naming names would get me in trouble.”
Her authenticity humor and humility are exactly why Best Kept Secrets sees her as a rising leader in the next generation of A&R.
