ARTIST INFO
Born in San Francisco and raised in Oakland, California, HYIM is an acclaimed singer, songwriter, producer, pianist, performer, poet and activist. He is the next generation’s music “fusionisto.” A California Music Awards nominee, HYIM also has been recognized as a KFOG Local Scene Artist. He began playing piano at age three and studied sitar in India, clave in Cuba and classical guitar in New Zealand. HYIM provided the score for the short film, “Two Birds,” directed by Juan Jose Rivera and winner of the San Francisco Latino Film Festival jury award for Best Emerging Latino Filmmaker 2006. That same year, he held a Five-Day Fast and Chain Vigil for Peace and Education, calling into question the economic sense of investing in war as opposed to our children. In 2007, HYIM performed in Poland for the historic Memory and Tolerance event, and upon his return, he and his band played on the world-famous Stern Grove Festival Stage in San Francisco. In 2008, HYIM scored a film for the United Nations about the World Heritage Sites and performed at a large charity event for children in Cali, Colombia. HYIM’s current album, “Sex In The Morning,” is an international exploration of the sacred erotic. HYIM is now working on a number of production projects, film scores, and his own “Collection of Ballads, Volume 1” due out late 2010, as well as performing live solo and band shows.
