Mia Kim
The big break came when they were invited on the Ed Sullivan show, and the Kim Sisters were invited to play all over America.
In February 1960 The Kim Sisters were featured in Life Magazine.
Mia married Tommy Vig in March 1967, after they had been playing together for several years 'back to back' on a rotating stage.
Mia also starred at the Desert Inn Hotel, and appeared on the Ed Sullivan Live TV Show 24 times. She also appeared on The Dinah Shore Show, Operation Entertainment, Hollywood Palace and Dean Martin television shows. Mia's mellow personality and singing perfectly complemented Tommy's energetic playing and character. This was true in all aspects of their lives together, and showed in his music, business and family life.
Mia's velvety voice is still mesmerizing audiences during Tommy's vibrant and unique performances of both classical and improvised jazz.
Over the years, Tommy and Mia have played to packed houses worldwide, and have achieved a unique rapport with their international audiences. Their polished professionalism is always hugely successful and popular, bringing inspiration, verve and fun to the public and fellow musicians.
In the summer of 2006, Tommy and Mia moved to Hungary permanently, where they have been enthralling audiences with their brilliant playing in concerts, and on television and radio. They have recorded several CDs, including the "ÜssDob", ("Beat It!") and "Now and Then".
Director Kim Daehyun (받는사람) produced an excellent documentary of Mia's life as a KIM SISTER called "Try to Remember".
