Kimera

voc, *1958 KR
Singer of Electronic and Classical
A.k.a. Kim Hong-Hee

Born January 10, 1958 in Daegu, South Korea as a direct descendant of King Kyungsoon and the Silla dynasty, Kimera is an opera singer with a four-octave range and appeared on local TV from the age of twelve. Having studied French Literature, she moved to Paris to complete her Masters Degree, graduating with a "Diplôme Supérieur d'Art Lyrique" in 1984. In the same year, she married multimillionaire construction tycoon Raymond Nakachian (who appeared as "executive producer" on her recordings) and brought about her main claim to fame with her criticised and somewhat controversial "Lost Opera" medley in the vein of "Hooked on Classics", self-described as "Popera". Although it hardly dented the UK (let alone the American) charts, she was a huge hit in countries like France and Spain - even reaching the number-one spot in South Africa. Following her child's kidnapping (and eventual rescue) in Marbella, Spain in 1987, Kimera's output has waned considerably but she did continue to work and perform into the 90s before finally fading into obscurity.
