Kimberly Claeys, known as Little Kim, has been pursuing her musical career for 20 years. She played with the Western Swing band Little Kim & The Alley Apple 3 in Belgium, the Netherlands, France, and Germany, and has released four albums. Since 2019, she has brought a breath of fresh air to the folk monument Kadril, with whom she released the album Jolie Flamande in 2022. Little Kim is also known as one of Guido Belcanto's regular guest singers.
Her solo debut, Moederland (2022), was produced by Guido Belcanto, who also appears on several songs and lent her his band Het Broederschap. In addition to Belcanto, Bruno Deneckere and Lieven Tavernier wrote and interpreted songs for her (by artists such as Gillian Welch, Nathalie Merchant, and Bob Dylan). The album was very well received by the press and fans.
On 28 March 2025, her new album, Ademhalen, was released, featuring Dutch-language songs written especially for Little Kim by Bruno Deneckere, Lieven Tavernier, Lennaert Maes, and Wigbert.
Little Kim brings a mix of country, folk, roots, and Americana — you could call it Flandricana, or as record boss Felix Huybrechts describes it: “Country molded from Flemish clay.”
For the recording of Ademhalen, Kim was able to count on her regular band and the support of Gianni Marzo (Marble Sounds, Isbells). Together, they created a new sound that can be abrasive at times and soothing at others but always focuses on the pure beauty of the song.
Her new single, ‘Bij Jou,’ was featured for weeks on Radio 2's playlist.
Little Kim performs as a trio or with a full band.
