If it’s newsworthy and you know about it - we’d like to know too!
Eighteen year old local musician, Holly Kimber, Kimber is a well known name around Darfield and is often a feature at local community events entertaining crowds with her incredible voice. Holly began her musical career, as many young children do, learning an instrument. In Holly’s case this was guitar, which she started playing in year 6. “My mum suggested I try lessons and I told her gosh no! However as mothers do, she dragged me along to the lesson, and I came out absolutely loving it and it has stuck ever since,” Holly laughed. It wasn’t until year 9 at Darfield High School that Holly decided to try her hand at singing lessons with Barbara Mulholland. Mulholland “Again, I immediately fell in love with the concept and enjoyed working on songs, along with trying to master such an amazing new skill,” Holly shared. From that point on singing has become a huge part of Holly’s life and as she has grown older she’s been performing and sharing her talent with others
around Canterbury. “I’ve also been to Blenheim with the Darfield High School Jazz Band to compete in the annual Southern Jam Jazz festival, and even sang the National Anthem at the Hororata Highland Games! Another highlight of my career was recently doing an interview on Plains FM. “I have done work for the Selwyn Arts Council as part of their ‘Summer in Selwyn’ initiative which involved performing at community picnics and music events all over Selwyn, and I have some regular spots where I play in Christchurch. “My favourite gigs are always local ones, or ones close to home,” an enthusiastic Holly explained. “I try to do a gig as often as I can, which is usually just me and my guitar.” Holly sings a variety of music genres and styles, from classic Jazz ballads to a country-style sound as well as everyone’s favourite rock tunes. “My aim is to have songs that will please everybody in the crowd. I'm often rocking out on a Saturday night one week, and then singing some smooth tunes at a Sunday lunch the next.” With her experience singing and performing in front of audiences it is easy to see that Holly has already gained a wealth of
knowledge, and is now ready to take on a new challenge. Holly has now headed to Pennsylvania, U.S.A to Pinemere Camp where her job will be as a song leader, and music teacher. Each summer, Pinemere Camp creates a safe space for children, where they can leave behind the hectic pace, pressure, and technology of ‘the real world’ and just be children.
“I will be specialising in singing, guitar, basic piano, and drums. I will also be coordinating any bands or groups the children at Camp may like to take part in. “I'm super excited, but also incredibly nervous to be spreading my wings on what will be an incredible adventure,” Holly concluded.
