Irresistible live and on camera, Kim performs with effortless ease on television, on the concert stage, and on record.
Kim’s career as an entertainer was off and running when she was asked to host the Q-93 Morning Show in her hometown of St. John’s, Newfoundland.. From there she moved to Toronto to begin her career as a singer and songwriter where her vivacious personality, quick wit and down to earth attitude immediately resulted in opportunities to guest host several radio and television programs. These included Canada AM, repeated appearances as host on the CHUM FM morning show and Entertainment Tonight. It wasn’t long before Kim was also embraced as a host for prestigious events and fundraisers. She has twice hosted Saturday Night at the Junos, has appeared as host for the CTV Junos Red Carpet, the Canadian Radio Music Awards and the East Coast Music Awards. Always in demand, Kim has entertained from Victoria to St. John’s, on television, on radio, and in person.

Kim is also an inaugural member of the Sickkids Constellation and a member of the Ambassador Program of Newfoundland and Labrador. A great believer in lifelong learning, she has a Bachelor of Arts Degree (English/Sociology) and continues to hone her craft with courses in acting and comedy (Second City/Equity Showcase/Jacqueline Mclintock/Ian Ferguson). Kim is also a book clubber, a news junkie and a proud Newfoundlander!

QUOTES
"Stockwood’s meteoric rise to fame has become the stuff of Canadian music-industry legend."
"Although a little lighter lyrically (than Jann Arden), Stockwood is equal to the task as a brassy, ballsy comedy frontwoman."
"…smoothly blended rhythms and textures…strength still comes from Stockwood’s personality."
“The Newfoundland singer-songwriter, best known of late for her work with Shaye, serves up delightful renditions of classic holiday fare like Holly Jolly Christmas.”
“I Love Santa (turtlemusik) is the kind of upbeat and spunky disc you’d expect from the singer who first serenaded us with a song called Jerk.”
"…Stockwood has that soul feeling in her vocal attack…"
"Her singing is as vivid as the outcast kid slouching through the song Little Margaret…Stockwood knows that even good stories require a good storyteller. With a lovely voice and snapshot lyrics, she delivers both."
"The maturity on Stockwood’s sophomore album is astounding, particularly her rich, warm vocals."
"…they allow Stockwood to marshal the full range of her voice – from upbeat popster, to Sheryl Crow-esque rocker, to that wonderful, deep, husky blues-inflected voice Stockwood was famous for in the early days of her career."
"…becoming a first-class songwriter…maturing songwriter and song stylist who happens to be a very gracious human being."
