Kim Massie

Kim Massie (April 19, 1958 – October 12, 2020) was an American blues and soul singer who performed mostly in her native St. Louis, Missouri.

Though her earliest musical experiences were schooled in the gospel choirs of East St. Louis, Illinois, she has had no formal training as a vocalist.

She spent her formative years in Lorain, Ohio, returning to St. Louis in 1999 to pursue her dreams of performing as a vocalist.

She was discovered when she sat in with the St. Louis saxophonist Oliver Sain (1932–2003), and soon afterwards formed her own band, the Solid Senders.

Massie won two "Best Female vocalist of the Year" awards from the Riverfront Times and starred in the 2003 production of It Ain't Nothin' But the Blues by the St. Louis Black Repertory Theatre.
