KIMIWVN based in Toronto, Canada is an Ojicree DJ and producer carving out a distinct space in electronic and house music. Her sound blends ethereal melodies, deep basslines, and
percussive club energy, moving fluidly between house, R&B, pop, and nostalgic 80s influences. Since her 2021 debut at Lee’s Palace, she has been refining her craft with emotionally driven,
genre-blurring sets that feel intimate and immersive. Rooted in purpose, KIMIWVN uses her platform to uplift Indigenous girls and women while continuing to evolve sonically and visually in
a lane entirely her own.
