    Early life

    Bullard was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, where he began playing piano at five years old. He attributes much of his success as a pianist to his mother's support, and his desire to learn playing piano.

    Music career

    Crosby, Stills, & Nash (1977-1979)

    Bullard moved to Los Angeles, California in 1973 and began performing with various musicians which led to being hired by French recording artist,

    Crosby, Stills, & Nash who would later offer Kim a touring position with Crosby, Stills, & Nash in 1977 as a keyboard player, which he accepted. Kim toured with CSN from 1977 to 1979.[3]

    Poco (1978–1983)

    Bullard joined Poco in December 1978 just as Legend was being released, performing keyboards and backing vocals with the group.

    During the first half of the 1980s, the group released five more albums which Bullard played keyboards and sang on, these albums were,

    Grammy Award in 1983.[4]

    Bullard left

    Crosby, Stills & Nash in 1983.[5][6][7]

    Katy Rose (2004)

    Bullard began working with his daughter, Katy Rose on vocals and songwriting in the studio was she was just twelve years old. By the time Rose was sixteen years old, he produced her album, Because I Can for V2 Records, which was released on January 27, 2004, along with "Overdrive", her first single from the album. "Overdrive" also appears on the Mean Girls soundtrack. "Lemon" is featured on the Thirteen soundtrack. Both songs are featured on Because I Can.[8][9]

    Elton John (2009–present)

    Through Bullard's session work in Los Angeles, he recorded and toured with people within the Elton John music community. When keyboard player, Guy Babylon died, Bullard was asked to become the keyboardist for the Elton John Band. Kim's first performance as a member of the Elton John Band took place on October 7, 2009, in Moscow.[10][11][12]
