About: Kim Nilseek
Kim Nilseek ran into the reality he was stone tone deaf in the 60s when he was told to move his mouth but emit no volume for graduation singing. Not one to let his enthusiasm for music be denied, Kim turned his passion into reporting and has been covering music since the 70s. He was there for Woodstock, Hendrix, the Beatles, Stones, Dylan and Donovan before moving to Hawaii where his video coverage of local acts helped the resurgence of Hawaiian music. His favorite group of all time is Little Feat (Lowell George version). Today, his vision of music coverage has resulted in MIMO. He hopes you enjoy the efforts of the staff, all much more musically inclined than he is.
