Kimya Dawson (in Kiswahili "Kimya"means "silence" or "silent") was born on 17 November in 1972. She is an American singer-songwriter, best known as a solo performer and as one half of The Moldy Peaches. A sometime resident of Bedford Hills, New York, Dawson moved in December 2005 — with her mother, father, brother, Akida Junglefoot Dawson (Akida is "Chief" in Kiswahili), and nephew — to Seattle, Washington. She is married to a musician named Angelo Spencer and, on July 28, 2006, Kimya gave birth to her first child, a daughter named Panda Delilah, and moved with her new family to Olympia, Washington in November, 2006. After Panda ("sow" or "climb" in Kiswahili) was born, Dawson and Spencer took a break from touring for a few months, playing only occasional local shows. However, they now tour together with the baby. Dawson has knuckle tattoos which read "LAFF LOUD". She also has a freebird tattoo on her left calf. Dawson once started a rumour that she was a cousin of The Strokes' drummer Fabrizio Moretti (: © http://wikipedia.org
