Peter J. Kim is a New York City-based vocalist, guitarist, and bandleader. His ensemble, the Star Eyes Quintet, presents story-driven performances that navigate the interplay between emotion, philosophy, and song.

The group performs a jazz-inflected, atmospheric repertoire in English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, and Italian.

Each performance is shaped as a thematic journey, with Peter weaving spoken storytelling and literary readings into the set to bring audiences inside the emotional world of each tune. The result is a concert experience that feels intimate, transportive, and emotionally powerful. In programs such as Dimensions of Sorrow and Heart(break), Peter has guided audiences through meditations on grief, longing, desire, reflection, and renewal.

Known for his resonant, enveloping voice, Peter has appeared at venues and jazz clubs across New York City.
