Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Nim K.. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Hi Nim, thanks for joining us today. How did you learn to do what you do? Knowing what you know now, what could you have done to speed up your learning process? What skills do you think were most essential? What obstacles stood in the way of learning more?
I don’t know if “learn” is the right word. I truly believe I was born with this gift. My environment encourgaed me to explore it. My father is a musician, vocalist, producer, etc. so there was never a day without music or the will to be creative.
It’s funny this is a popular question. I get asked this more than one would think. The short answer is I don’t think I would of done anything to speed up the process. Yes, even with all the information and wisdom I posses now I still wouldn’t change a thing. There is a beauty in the struggle and I believe if I never took any L’s or stumbled along the way I wouldn’t be where I am today. You have to trust the process. Fast isn’t always better.
The skills most essential to my career have been, (1) The skill to be me and only me. I find that staying true to myself has made it easier for me to connect with my fans and even other artists because I’m not wearing a mask. I show up as me. (2) The skill to follow my intuition and move the way I see fit. The more success you receive in the public eye the more opinions and unsolicited advice comes my way. Sometimes it’s hard to not questions your judgment when so many ideas are being thrown at you. It’s not easy to silence the noise, but it must be done. Stand on what you believe.
Nothing. If I want to learn I do. I have always been the kid to ask too many questions. I’ve always had the attitude of “If you can’t help me I’ll do it myself”. You could even ask my mom I’ve never limited myself and I’ve always looked at the word “no” as an opportunity to go back to the drawing board and try again.
I believe no one should let something get in the way of their desire to expand their mind.
Nim, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
I was born to be an entertainer. From making my own flyers as a toddler and passing them out at home to making everyone meet me in the living room to watch me sing and dance. My parents quickly noticed my interests and enrolled me into ballet when I was 2. They allowed me to be a part of plays musicals, and even let me audition for The Gordon College Choir when I was about 9 or 10. My passions were supported and I thank my parents for that every day. With that being said I wouldn’t act start to purse my music career seriously until 2021 with my first music video “Stu Pickles” ft MOVYBZ Shot by 3Z3NXIA
As a musical artist I provide a new fresh outlook on music. I am not afraid of any sound or genre. I see the possibilities others don’t. I hear the pockets others didn’t know existed.
I feel that this quality is what sets me apart from other artists. My knack is being different across the board. I’ve never fit in so I naturally stand out.
I am most proud of my work ethic. I work harder than most and will continue to push myself and redefine my limits. I am always growing even when faced with adversity.
Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?
Yes. Aside from my deep love of music there is another driving force behind this unique journey of mine. My main mission is to heal, uplift, and inspire everyone and anyone who listens to my music. I am an activist and very big on community. I believe the change and empowerment start with us from within and should be spread for all to feel. I wish to bring about a positive change through my music, and I also wish to be a role model for women young and old (especially those of color, but not limited too). I want the world to know it’s okay to be yourself. The choice is always yours, but know you don’t have to succumb to the unrealistic social norms the new world technology has instilled in us. I can’t stress that enough. The biggest lie they have told us is that we are all the same that we are all equal and that is simply not true. Should we all be treated like human beings and be respected of course, but if we were all the same it would be a very boring world. We are all different and that is was connects us just the same.
What can society do to ensure an environment that’s helpful to artists and creatives?
I might get some heat for my answer, but actually supporting good music! Now I am not saying that these artists turned public figures aren’t talented or don’t work hard I am not saying that at all. What I am saying is just in my Boston community alone I know so many talented musicians, artists, creatives, etc., but they never get the recognition they deserve.
So please support your favorite artists when ever you can. It could be sharing a flyer even if you can’t attend. Just sharing their music is everything. If you aren’t happy with the music being pumped out start going hard for the music you love!
You wouldn’t believe the ripple effect once the first stone is cast.
