In the daylight hours, she can be found teaching Tae Kwon Do to kids at her martial arts studio on the famed Sunset Strip. But it's after dark that Kimberly shines. She is currently the resident DJ at both the state-of-the-art FACTORY nightclub and GIRL BAR in Los Angeles, spinning the hottest sounds for thousands of loyal fans (and some of Hollywood's hippest celebrities) on a nightly basis.

Kimberly began her DJ career in Los Angeles with an eight-year residency at The Palms in West Hollywood. Making regular appearances at Hollywood's elite movie premiere parties, she is in constant demand to spin at the hottest dance events in cities across the continent. Landmark performances, such as the Chrome Party's sold-out Closing Party, have earned Kimberly a solid reputation for consistency and creativity. Her superb technical skills and amazing musical intuition prompted Lavender Magazine to dub her "the nation's number one lesbian DJ" and Advocate Magazine to include her on its 2001 "Innovators" list of trendsetters in the gay and lesbian community. She has since made her network TV debut, portraying a popular club DJ on the hit series, "Charmed" and has

appeared in a national color photo spread for John Paul Mitchell Systems as a celebrity spokesperson.

Whether she's pumping out the hits for a packed dance floor, gracing the cover of a magazine, or delivering a razor-sharp roundhouse kick, fans everywhere agree that Kimberly S. is a knockout in every sense of the word.
