As the co-host of eTalk, Tanya Kim confesses that she inhales and exhales pop culture. Having interviewed such musical icons as David Bowie, Janet Jackson, Diddy, Jennifer Lopez, Kanye West, Coldplay and Cher, talking music and entertainment is effortless for Kim.

Classically trained as a pianist and dancer, the broadcast journalism graduate started her TV 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 eTalk 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 July 2007, Kim reported live from London during both the Concert for Diana and Live Earth events. In August 2005, Kim hosted eTalk Playlist, a six-episode chart show/concert mini-series that expands on eTalk's popular Playlist segment.

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 glamourous event in L.A., 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!”
