Kim Joyce
Kim Joyce (born Kimberly Wilburn) is 
an American R&B singer, songwriter and 
producer. Her desire to create music and 
sing started early with Kim singing at her 
father’s church in Detroit, Michigan. Her 
enthusiasm led to piano lessons that allowed 
Kim to accompany and assist 
her mother.
    A student of music, Kim committed 
herself to experimenting with and 
mastering production techniques, 
including training herself on the MPC and 
Motif workstations. She sequenced her 
compositions in advanced software such 
as Reason while she continued to build 
on her vocal foundation.
   Prior to launching her musical career 
full-on, Kim attended Ohio State on a 
full athletic scholarship for basketball. 
On top of earning her degree, Kim was 
awarded Big Ten Defensive Player of the 
Year while her team captured the 
conference title. During college 
she performed as lead vocalist
 for the alternative outfit LaQuest.
 During this period Kim 
the guitar, to her live music 
also added 
toolkit.
   At this point in her solo career Kim has 
been awarded: Spotlight Detroit (2006) 
and Ohio State Heritage Festival Talent 
Show (2006). She has appeared at the 
Columbus Red, White and Boom 
Celebration (2008), Detroit Rib and 
Soul Festival (2006) and the Chicago 
Caribbean Festival (2007).  In addition, 
she has opened for Eric Roberson, Brian 
McKnight, Lil’ Wayne, Pleasure P and PJ 
Morgan to name a few.
  “In this Life, I was blessed with so many 
talents.  I know God giveth and He taketh 
away, therefore I make it my  job is to 
maximize all my blessings and to touch 
and share them with as many people as 
possible.” With a voice that has been 
compared to India Arie and Lauryn Hill, 
no mistake should be made; Kim Joyce 
has a  unique sound and distinct look 
that allows her to shine and never be 
forgotten.
