Kimya Dawson
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kimya Dawson (born November 17, 1972) is a singer-songwriter and a prominent part of the Anti-folk movement. [1] She is most well known for being the female counterpart to Adam Green in The Moldy Peaches. [2] She is well-connected with certain musicians: she appears on songs by Ben Kweller [3], They Might Be Giants [4], Third Eye Blind [5], The Mountain Goats [6], and John Wayne Shot Me [7]. Chris Barron of the '90s band Spin Doctors co-wrote and sang a Moldy Peaches song, and Fabrizio Moretti landed the Peaches an opening gig for his band, The Strokes. While the Moldy Peaches have been on hiatus, Dawson released a string of lo-fi homemade albums, including the critically acclaimed Hidden Vagenda which was released by K Records in 2004. A sometime resident of Bedford Hills, New York, she moved in December 2005 - with her mother, father, brother (Akida Junglefoot Dawson), and nephew - to Seattle, Washington. Kimya Dawson has also appeared in Third Eye Blind's music video "Blinded". On July 28th, 2006, Dawson gave birth to her first child, a daughter named Panda Delilah. She is now married to "one man band" Angelo Spencer.
