Singer / Songwriter

ABOUT MAMAKIM....
Despite having a full time career in health, MaMaKim has been playing guitar and writing songs since the age of 12. Now, with children grown, and time on her hands she is back as a live performer and recording artist.
MaMaKim is based in Bali, where she has spent most of her adult life, however she regularly visits her hometown in South Australia.
While her Island life has been idyllic, there have been trying times. Her colourful life more than qualifies her to write with a soulful pen, pouring emotion, happy and not so happy, into her music. MaMaKim has the ability to bring you to tears, and then have you belly laughing within minutes. 
Many will identify with MaMa Kims songs, especially those that have children, and have ridden the emotional waves of family life.
MaMaKims songs also bring current issues to the table, such as the prejudices that can still run deep in society, the destruction of the environment and the creatures that it effects.
Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence.” Robert Fripp

It's difficult to classify MaMaKims music as a single genre, as her songs traverse soulful blues, to country and folk. 
​MaMa
Kim currently performs regularly in cafes, restaurants and art spaces on the Island, as well as the occasional festival. She generously donates her time and talent to help raise funds for those less fortunate on the Island.
While she has a folio of her own songs, MaMaKim also performs a selection of cover songs that she has arranged to suite her own funky, folky, blues style


"Listen...someone is singing the blues. A chain of life's events are being woven together, spun loosely and then held tight. Close your eyes, you can hear the emotion that strings the pearls together. A quilt is being patched, laughter in the stitching, tears the fabric of the song. Listen...someone is singing the blues. It could make you smile, it could make you cry, but it will make you FEEL, it WILL make you feel.... something. Listen....someone is singing the blues" ​MaMa Kim Patra May 2018

REVIEWS
  • MaMaKim has played at our restaurant/lounge bar Bakfickan in Bali, Sanur for a couple of years and we always have regulars coming to hear and see her play. MaMaKim is a cool, genuine artist that blends the blues , folk and jazz into her own unique style. ♡ - Lotte Lassesson, Cafe Smorgas, Sanur, Bali
  • Great voice great performance! If you around Sanur, don’t miss her gig every Monday in Rumah Sanur Creative Hub! - Roberto Aria Putra, Sanur, Bali
  • We attended a performance by MaMa Kim called “Lady & The Blues” at The Griya in Amed. We instantly got hooked by her Bonnie Tyler-type of voice. Deep and so very well suited to sing the blues! Her vocal abilities and natural ease with the guitar combined together form a sheer gem of a talent! Also loved how she spontaneously interacts with the audience, to pull everyone in and sing along! Definitely someone you’ll want to hear (and see!) performed again! Not to mention MaMaKim’s warm and authentic personality! MaMaKim! You rock, Blues Lady! - Valerie Derbaudrenghien, The Grya Villas, Amed, Bali
  • Kim Patra aka MamaKim...What can I say... If music could physically feed the soul, MaMaKim would never go hungry. As a musician myself, I can honestly say it is a blessing to witness a woman with such passion for her talent and extremely talented she is. It is always a pleasure to watch MaMaKim perform. She is professional and adaptive. Her repertoire ranges from Blues, to modern, with her own twist on the classics, original material and covers to fill your heart. I've had the pleasure of watching her adapt for special occasions including Christmas carols and a yoga retreat opening ceremonies too. You can see the time she's put in to building her specific sets to match her audience. I have also had the pleasure of witnessing (and joining) Kim jamming off the cuff and this also is flawless. A true natural. With the use of her loop pedals, effect box and various other instruments including harmonica, Kim can transform a one woman set into a complete show and best of all she does it so effortlessly. You can tell from the off that this is natural to MaMaKim and this connection she has to her music comes through on her performances.I would highly recommend liking this page or her Instagram and catching a show or 2 when you're in town. You will not be disappointed.All hail women with the blues! Keep the spirit MaMaKim, you're rocking it! - Carmel Louise Hassell, Professional Vocalist
  • My little florist shop in Adelaide hosted MaMaKim for the guitars in bars festival in 2018. Kim is an amazingly talented singer/songwriter with a beautiful voice & gorgeous warm and friendly personality! Going above and beyond with her set, MaMaKim continued to entertain and chat with our guests way past the finish time. How awesome! Professional, passionate and extremely talented. Highly recommend - Jodie Morrison ,Florist
