Tanya Kim | Co-host of e-Talk Daily, she hails
from Sault Ste. Marie in Ontario.
Classically trained as a pianist and dancer,
she graduated from Ryerson University's broadcast journalism program
and started her television career at MuchMusic. Kim went on to
become the music reporter for CTV's 'the chatroom', then became
the special correspondent for the first two seasons of 'Canadian
Idol', reporting on music and style from several of the regional
auditions.
Kim's role as co-host of 'e-Talk'
has given her many exciting opportunities, including hosting red
carpets at the JUNO Awards, Canada's Walk of Fame and the Oscars,
and hanging backstage with the artists at Live 8 Canada.
In 2005, TV Guide ranked Kim
second in a list of "Canada's Top 10 newcomers on the verge
of a major breakout." Aside from her work with 'eTalk', Kim
has also appeared in 'Puppets Who Kill', 'Degrassi: The Next Generation',
'Instant Star' and the film 'Glitter'.
Kim's passion for music and
pop culture is what brought her to 'eTalk', but Kim also wants
to share her love for music with Canada's youth through her role
at MusiCan, an organization that provides instruments to schools
across the country.
Whether she's at a glamorous
event in Los Angeles, meeting high-profile stars or gracing the
covers of magazines, Kim still counts her family as a source of
pride and inspiration.
"Making my parents proud
is what matters -- my dad still tapes every show to this day!"
