The voice of vocalist Kim Versteynen from Hasselt is as flexible as are her curls. She knows how to touch the public with her warm timbre, makes every song  her own by her creative approach and possesses the unique talent to be able to select and write a repertoire that touches everyone. Meanwhile Kim is an important vocal member of the Belgian jazzworld and in Limburg people always know where to find her as  singing teacher (in the academies of Hasselt and Genk and the KSO-education Musart in Hasselt and on a private basis)

​

She graduated as a Master in the Art Sciences at the UGent in 2007 and as a Master in  Music at the Academy of Music of Maastricht in 2013.  The duo Kim Versteynen and Tim Finoulst  already won the ‘Concours Des Jeunes Talents’ at the Leffe Jazz Nights in Dinant in 2013. With her quartet ‘Kim in the Middle’ she constantly pushes the limits of her musical abilities. Before the coronacrisis the group finished a successful tour with their third album ‘ the 7Year Itch’. Together with her partner-in-crime Arne Van Coillie she forms a much appreciated duo and she puts Hasselt on the jazz scene with her non-profit organisation The Mood (jazz pub-crawling, live concerts, jazz advice…) Moreover she accepts challenges in diverse music and theatre projects (Hepcats, Manoesh, Gershwin: classical meets jazz,…) and freelance assignments.
