Kim Cummings

Kim Cummings has been played on NTS shows including Sunday Club w/ Finn, with Your Attitude (Mental Instrum) first played on 12 August 2021.

Kim Cummings began writing songs at the age of 13 - "I remember listening to all types of artists. Anita O’Day, Gene Krupa, The Beatles, Sarah Vaughn, The Faces, Zappa. Today, Massive Attack, Beck, Civil Twilight, Arcade Fire, Herbalsaier, the list goes on. I love it. All of it.” "But I have to say years ago, when I first heard Laura Nyro, my life changed. I knew I could tap into songwriting myself.” Kim's wide range of musical influences helped her experiment, pairing her voice with lyrics and music. Her first collaborating experience involved writing and recording with Chris Robison, formally of the New York Dolls. In the following years Kim played in bands and exploring her song writing abilities in Boston and eventually in L.A. And the writing continues. Kim's writing stems from her expansive influences, vocal sensibilities and her love of melody and words. "I want to make my sound as precise and as honest as it can be,” she says. it feels really good.”
