Kym Priess
- Actress
Originally from Austin Texas, Kym Priess is as Los Angeles-based interdisciplinary artist and genre-bender who takes no prisoners when it comes to the mediums she works in. She's a pioneering comedic creator, fierce frontwoman, adventurous musician, song + screenwriter, captivating live host and actor. Her main project, STUNTDRIVER, is an interactive electro-rock project which debuted to sold-out crowds as a full-on immersive production aka living album experience in which the audience roamed thru a maze-like set with actors and a full band including John Avila (OingoBoingo) on bass. Since then the project has taken a band-like approach and most recently, Priess performed it solo when she opened for Peaches. The album "Saga" was released in 2020 and a new one is in the works.
Recent acting credits include: an AppleTV comedy with reality star/Billboard musician, Adam Barta, playing rising country star Tony Martinez's crazy girlfriend in his video "Why You Gotta be Crazy?" and being the fun, jaded aunt in an upcoming short with Carmelita Hughes.
Priess' work pushes boundaries, forms and comfort levels yet maintains a fun-loving, absurd and curious tone and has been seen in music venues, galleries, theaters, non-traditional locations and federal prisons in New York, LA, Amsterdam, San Francisco, Honolulu and Austin since the 1990s.
Priess has been described as "critical to the existence of the dragon in you" (ComeHereFloyd) and earned comparisons to Siouxsie Sioux and Joan Jett (LaBuzzBand's Kevin Bronson). This discipline bender's career took root in the NYU experimental theater world sparking theatrical, comedic, vivid works and a rock opera that was awarded "Best of the Fringe" (SF Fringe Festival). As a musician, Priess has written 300 songs (some on Vanderpump Rules, Siesta Key toured extensively , shared stages with Exene Cervenka and Fishbone and sings backup on William Shatner's Spirit in the Sky. She plays bass, accordion, and keys but is mostly known for her dynamic vocal range. She also does her own stunts whenever she can.
When not creating, traveling or performing, Kym prefers to be tubing down a river.
