    Artist description
    Julie Kim's smooth vocals glide effortlessly over the tracks which are driven by strong hooks and beautiful melodies. The songs are truly a reflection of Julie Kim - the woman, the musician, the vocalist. They are about expression, taking chances, letting go and being true to yourself. Julie Kim's spirit and determination is evident in the tune "Free"..."all I want is to be free... to make my own decisions... only in my mind is how I'll be... get rid of impositions". The EP is rounded out by the sexy duet, "Today" with R&B Juno award winner Carlos Morgan, the pop-infused title track “This Part of Me”, and the emotional power-ballad “Alone”.

    Artist History
    Like many other children, Julie Kim was introduced to music by taking piano lessons. Although the piano intrigued her, she was happiest expressing her talents through her voice. So, at age 14 she began to take professional singing lessons. After graduating from college with a diploma in music, Julie Kim started her own group called "The Julie Kim Blues Band". The band performed at several venues in and around Montreal, Canada. They were recognized by winning second runner up in the prestigious "La Relve BUD" contest. Seizing an opportunity to take her voice to the stage, Julie Kim also became involved in musical theater. She performed the supporting role of “Anita” in 1999's performance of West Side Story in Montreal. Her talent was appreciated by a local newspaper reporter who commented that her performance "took over the lead". It was also during this time that Julie Kim was invited to sing at the AR-T-FAC Showcase, held in Montreal's most popular concert theater. Her performing career was exploding in Montreal, but she needed to explore a different side of her musical personality. She reestablished herself in a new city. Toronto, Canada became her new home, and urban pop became her new creative outlet.
