Kim-Lian, a multi-media mega talent, proven success in any arena, driven by passion, energy, girl power, dynamism, talent and humor. She won't settle for anything less. Kim-Lian comes from a musical family. Both her parents were professional dancers, her mother even could be found on the dancefloor when she was pregnant. Kim-Lian won in her childhood different dance contests and joined regularly a lip-sing show. When she was 6 and 11 she joined the Dutch program "The Mini Playbackshow" (a lipsing contest on national TV). In 2003 she got the chance by CMM records to record an album. At the end of 2003 the first single "Teenage Superstar" was released. Already Kim-Lian went international. Teenage Superstar became a #1 hit in Indonesia and was charted in the charts in other countries, such as the Netherlands, Belgium, South Africa, Asia, Sweden and Italy. After "Hey Boy!" was released (which also did well in all the charts), Kim-Lian's debut album Balance was released, which peaked at #9 in the Dutch Album Chart. After splitting up with her record label CMM Records, because Kim-Lian refused to sing more children music, she worked on her second album. She wanted to produce it herself and was helped by the Swedish producer (and partner) Daniël Gibson. They built a studio at their home and started to write songs. Writing music was for Kim-Lian something she loved. They wrote with several writers from different countries, such as Sweden, England, the Netherlands and Belgium. The first single of Just Do It was "Road to Heaven". And she showed that she didn't need to make children music to have hits. It wasn't a massive hit, it peaked at #28 in the Top 40, but it was a start. On October 12, she released "In Vain", the second single off the upcoming second album Just Do It. It is an emotional song where in the video she dies. After spending 6 weeks in the Tipparade (Dutch pre-chart) it was expected to chart in the Dutch Top 40 next week. But it didn't enter. Kim-lian has got plans to go abroad again with her album but there is nothing sure.
