Welcome. My name is Sunny Kim — singer, composer, improviser, and artist-researcher working at the intersections of cultures and artistic disciplines. I create music at the meeting point of traditions and contemporary expression, imagining new forms of connection through sound.

My practice is rooted in listening. As both teacher and learner, mother and child, I breathe with the people, places, creatures, and stories that surround us. Each artistic creation is an act of care — honouring individuality, fostering empathy, and carrying cultural and spiritual meaning. I believe that integrity, courage, and collective care are not just values but vital tools for shaping the world we share.

Through intercultural collaboration and re-imaginings of musical traditions, my work affirms that art-making is both a personal journey and a shared commitment. At its heart lies a simple offering: exchanging love and knowledge through sound, and creating spaces where difference inspires new possibilities.

I invite you to explore these pages as a story of music, kinship, and collective imagination — a vision for a more connected and compassionate world.

“Sunny’s been singing Manikay songs in language with me that I’ve shared with her. Sunny is my sister I adopted through songlines of Arnhem Land. I’d like to keep singing with her and share with each other our cultures and collaborate together. We sing together Manikay songs to keep them strong in our heart.”

Daniel Wilfred, Manikay songman and Wagilak Elder

“Kim’s haunting voice doesn’t stay within any tradition. Her processed vocals soar over us like aurora borealis.”

Martin Busink, Musique Machine Magazine

“Sunny Kim's gentle, generous artistry is balm for our times. She invites us into her radiant, powerful creations with intelligence and care."

Genevieve Lacey, Recorder Virtuoso and Cultural Leader

“Her voice travels in bright shards - pellucid even through the tiny speakers of a pair of ear buds. It carries life force, culture, and reaches for connection.”
