About Kim Brogli:
An out-of-the-box creative coupled with a fierce drive, work ethic, and unique ability to pull at your heart, Nashville-based singer-songwriter Kim Brogli is making her mark among Nashville songwriters. The Middle Tennessee native was always a writer and storyteller at heart. She recalls with laughter being the ADHD kid who was constantly in trouble at school, making the other kids laugh with her outrageous humor and telling stories that kept kids laughing or in suspense til the end. In the fourth grade, Kim tried out for the school choir and didn’t make it. “I was a sensitive kid and have always been harder on myself than anyone else could ever be. So when I didn’t make the choir, I never sang again publicly. I just thought...I must be a terrible singer. It never dawned on me I was nervous and shy.”
She went on to graduate from The University of Alabama with a degree in French and International Business. After a successful career selling real estate, she bought guitars for her twin boys and ended up playing them herself. After getting her own guitar for Christmas that year, she began taking voice lessons, and that led to putting her words on paper into song. After recording a few singles with her then-vocal coach Kristen Smith, acclaimed producer, Will Gawley, found Kim on Instagram and said her soulful voice was reflective of those ‘70s songwriters. She has often been compared to Emmylou Harris, Alison Krauss, Lori McKenna, and Sarah Jarosz.
They decided to record her debut EP, which includes four original songs she wrote or co-wrote with hit songwriter, James Dean Hicks. In it, she touches on subjects like faith, love, life lessons, self-doubt, parenting, and many other feelings she has processed on paper. She is slowly finding an audience in the Americana market. Her songs have the ability to bring tears and make you reflect upon the deeper meaning of life in a sweet, understated way. She performs mostly around Nashville at this time.
