Born in Southern Maine and raised in the Dominican Republic, her unique and cultured outlook on life gives her plenty to write and sing about. At age 16, she began playing guitar and writing songs while attending a summer program at the renowned Berklee College of Music in Boston. Soon after, she became a regular at open-mic nights in her hometown, conquering stage fright while sharing her self-penned songs with audiences. Her pursuit of songwriting and performing led her to return to Berklee College of Music as a university student. During her sophomore year, Kimberly made a trip to Nashville, quickly fell in love with the city and transferred to Belmont University to complete her Music Business degree. While still in school, she landed a part-time job as the Catalog/Office Manager at a publishing company on Music Row and continued to pursue songwriting and performance opportunities. Those pursuits quickly began to pay off. In 2009, Kimberly was featured in an ASCAP writers night series, and soon after, her original song “Blue Skies” was chosen for the BMI Song Search. In short order, this momentum caught the attention of her boss, Tom-Leis Music’s Creative Partner Leslie “Tomasina” DiPiero. DiPiero signed Kimberly to her first publishing deal in 2011. In 2013, KJ went to explore Hawaii's music scene and has taken off as an artist playing shows and festivals all over the islands, and opening for larger acts on tour. She is currently living on the west side of the Big Island, working on her sophomore album, “Just KJ” and making frequent trips to Los Angeles to write and record for film and TV. Her songs have been featured on several TV shows including Degrassi High and ABC’s ”Nashville”.

Paste Magazine wrote, "Blue Mother Tupelo is quite possibly the best husband and wife duo you've never heard of. Micol (pronounced \ ˈmī-kül \) and Ricky Davis play swampy, gospel-tinged southern soul-blues. Micol displays the full-bodied vocal fire of Janis Joplin, while she rattles and slaps her tambourine with the ecstasy and know-how of a black gospel choir member. Ricky plays muscular, stabbing figures on acoustic guitar and dobro, and the two join in close, soul-searing harmonies like only intimate kin can; a heady blend of otherworldly longing and thisworldly passion, bodies swaying and tambourines shaken emphatically." BMT's dreamy rendition of the Paul Anka classic, "Put Your Head On My Shoulder" was included on the big screen in the closing scene of the movie, "Daltry Calhoun" (Miramax Films). Their critically and fan acclaimed album of original songs, "Heaven & Earth" made waves across Americana radio worldwide, debuting at #2 behind Kris Kristofferson on the EuroAmericana Chart and hitting the Top 40 on Americana radio in the USA, and remained in the Top 40 of Roots Music Report's "Roots Rock" Chart for a year. Ricky, Micol & Katie Armiger co-wrote the song, "Playin' With Fire" recorded by Katie Armiger, that reached the Top 50 on the U.S. Country Airplay Chart and remained there for weeks. Blue Mother Tupelo's newest album "Only Sunshine", features 10 original songs including co-writes with the award-winning and highly-regarded Kim Richey, Will Kimbrough & Ryan Tyndell; was announced by Something Else Reviews "Best of The Year (Non-Jazz)" (alongside new albums by Lucinda Williams, Jack White, Seth Walker, Mingo Fishtrap, Me-Shell Ndegeocello and the Drive-By Truckers). In 2018, BMT has just released the latest album "Sanctuary". BMT has shared the studio, shows and the stage with many well-known, well-respected, wonderfully-gifted recording and touring artists. BMT's highly-anticipated new-upcoming album will be released soon. Ricky & Micol have an insatiable ingrained heartfelt passion for traversing the purest depths and heights of music and BMT is just getting started! Blue Mother Tupelo is American music that will pull you in, to stomp and sway all night long. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aa306e6ec4eb78e5cee120a/1526502895942-J2JDR5JP00T082TZ9P3P/image001.jpg Catalogs - Troy Johnson Troy Johnson hails from Katy, TX and has been a writer in Nashville for over 15 years.
