“Born with a Silver Mic in Her Mouth . . .”
Kim Yarbrough . . . Her voice as sultry and haunting as a Southern Summer . . . One of the world's most gifted vocalists. Since her Phenomenal Splash on Season 2 of NBC's "THE VOICE", the world now knows just how gifted. After her appearance on "The Voice" she was interviewed on the "TODAY" Show with Kathie Lee Gifford, Hoda and Al Roker. That same evening, she dropped in to sing with "The Roots" on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon".
Classically trained, Kim sings in every style, from Broadway to Blues, Rock to R&B, Jazz to Jingles and everything in between. Her vocal prowess has been compared to the likes of Aretha Franklin. Her latest comparison is "Jennifer Hudson meets Chaka Khan". She dominates every element— stage, film, recordings. Actress Sheryl Lee Ralph has dubbed her “Little Aretha ”, The late "Teena Marie" labeled her voice as "The Truth", and legendary singer/actress, Della Reese is quoted as saying, “ You owe it to yourself to see Kim Yarbrough.” Maroon 5 front Man Adam Levine and Christina Aguilera have consistently pronounced Kim as a versatile powerhouse vocalist and "A Force to be Reckoned With."
