Details:
Kimo Forrest has been called "Nashville's Best Kept Secret" for far too long. A career that began in a small wine country town in Northern California at the age of 12, has led him to all 50 states, Canada, and Europe. He's performed with highly acclaimed artists across several genres, recorded in some of the finest studios in the world, had a song on a hit television series, and met the President of the United States three times! After decades as a professional touring and session musician, there are not many things he hasn't seen or done. Yet, since most of his work has been in a support role, all of this has been achieved with little or no recognition. The time has come for the world to know this amazing talent.

Kimo's debut solo project is a reflection of his dedication to his craft, as well as his devotion to his faith. An accomplished multi-instrumentalist and vocalist, every sound you hear on this project is performed by Kimo. He also handled production and engineering duties. Lyrically, Kimo's songs draw heavily from his personal struggles and his journey to Christianity, while musically leaning on heavy guitars and tight arrangements. "As far as Rock and Roll, I've always loved the guitar music from the 80's and 90's", he says. "Def Leppard, AC/DC, Journey, Guns and Roses...the usual cast of characters. I also find myself being drawn to some of the newer stuff like Shinedown, Skillet, Audioslave and Sevendust. I'm sure a bit of all of it finds it's way into my music without me knowing. Heck, even Bob Marley and Rascal Flatts have a place in there...well, maybe not", he says laughing. Though his path has led him to play almost every style of music from progressive rock and r&b, to reggae and country, his original material has a clearly defined, focused sound, thanks to his production skills.

Though Kimo is just beginning to pursue a solo career, the list of artists that have used his talent is long and extensive. A quick glance through his credits provides an insight to the high level he has worked at for years. He has shared the stage with the likes of Kid Rock, Warrant, Lynyrd Skynrd, Charlie Daniels, Kansas, Hoobastank and many more. One listen to Kimo's music and we believe you will agree..... It is time to let the secret out.
