Kimi Tortuga is a singer-songwriter, guitarist, and pianist known for her velvety vocals, instrumental prowess, and warm stage presence. A Tampa Bay native, she began her musical journey at just 5 years old, forming an immediate and inconvertible bond with music that transcended all other ambitions. She performed classical music and jazz in various ensembles through the age of 18 before turning the page to indie-pop and soul-rock. By age 21, Kimi began composing original works on piano and taught herself to sing, play ukulele, and then guitar, gleefully making her rounds at local open mics, blues jams, and other musical get-togethers in the bustling Tampa Bay music scene. By age 24, she began performing full-time while living in Central America and traveling to Europe. Fast forward to 2024: now having performed in over ten countries around the world, Kimi has developed an ethereal and soulful virtue all her own. Most recently she has: - successfully toured the United States and Costa Rica in 2023 and 2024, - recorded and produced her first full-length, all-original album “Be Still,” and other singles which are streaming on all major platforms, - landed exciting performance contracts with major local events like the Florida State Fair, and - produced original music concert events such as “Metamorphosis: An Artist Becoming.”
