Kim Harris

About

The artist

Kim Harris is a singer-songwriter and vocalist based professionally in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Originally from Corner Brook, Newfoundland and Labrador, she moved to Halifax in 2005 and developed her performance practice in Nova Scotia through open mics, regional festivals, and collaborations. Her debut album, Only the Mighty, arrived in 2014 with producer Dale Murray. Its arrangements placed Harris's powerful, elastic voice inside a broad palette of piano, guitars, percussion, backing vocals, and atmospheric textures. The album received three Music Nova Scotia honours that year: Female Artist Recording of the Year, New Artist Recording of the Year, and SOCAN Songwriter of the Year for The Weight of It All. Harris returned with Heirloom in January 2020 through LHM Records. Produced, engineered, and mixed by Daniel Ledwell, the ten-track album explores memory, grief, resilience, and renewal through alternative pop, folk, and orchestral textures. The exact Spotify identity contains five primary album and single containers from August 2019 through January 2023: the album Heirloom and the singles Uproar, Once You Were Wondrous, Judy, and Lavender. MusicList preserves that exact provider grouping as one album and four singles. The broader artist-controlled and Apple Music discography also includes Only the Mighty and the 2014 singles Foton and Minigun, which are not attached to the exact current Spotify identity. Harris co-wrote and performed Judy with Jenn Grant. The song reimagines the love story of Harris's parents and won Song of the Year at the 2024 East Coast Music Awards. The ECMA record identifies the collaborators with Halifax, Nova Scotia and Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, while the exact official site, long-running provincial records, and later Atlantic Canadian performances support Halifax as Harris's current public professional base. Harris remains active as a recording and touring collaborator. In 2025 she appeared as a special guest with Tim Baker at JAG Soundhouse in St. John's, and the National Arts Centre's current Queen of the Strait: Cradled by the Waves project lists her among Jenn Grant's band members for 2026 development and performance work involving Halifax, Toronto, Charlottetown, and Dublin. The official site remains active with music, video, platform links, and a dedicated public professional contact route.
