The talent show was an amazing Event. There were a lot of great artists, and it was a lot of fun. Also met a lot of wonderful people. I suggest if you can come out and join us! Let's go!​​

Fantastic studio experience! As a former wedding singer, I took part in an 8-week vocal and recording session with Kimberly and Ronnie--and it was an absolute blast. They provided incredible coaching that helped me refine my vibrato and reach new heights with my vocal range. I highly recommend them--they truly customize the experience to fit your individual goals. I will be continuing to take part in their monthly talent shows with occur creative artists because music is life.

WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY

Mariea Richee

We had a blast, Kimmie. I'm excited to participate next time. Thank you for your patience and your constant motivation and positive pressure. I've always needed someone like you, girl!

Ariana Ford

I've been a member of UFirst for over a year now.  Since joining, my acting career has taken off from debuting in a sold out musical, to leading in local commercials, and hit true crime tv series. I even released my first book while connected to this community. Most importantly of them all, I've made friends for life. I found community where I feel seen, not judged, and surrounded by people who care to see me win. Signed. A member for life. (:

Meet the CEO's

​Who are Kimmie and Sa?

​We are Kimmie Smith, a professional dancer and theater director, and Sarah 'SaMoe' Hogan, a singer and songwriter, who have been best friends for 15 years. One day we came together with the unshakeable belief: artists need self-care and personal wellness in order to thrive. By first caring for themselves, artists can then produce quality works that change the world. With this burning vision, UFirst Artist was born on June 19, 2023. We spent a year creating the company together, and in that process, we discovered that we push each other to greatness and balance each other out. Most importantly, we hold space for each other and we desire to hold that same artistic space for you!
