Kimberley Chen (born 23 May 1994) is an Australian singer, actress and model based in Taiwan. She attended Tintern Grammar in Melbourne, Australia. She was the youngest and only child model on the Channel 9's The Price Is Right and later appeared as Young Nala in Disney's Lion King at the Regent Theatre in Melbourne as well as the Shanghai Grand Theater in Shanghai. She is now a professional singer in Taiwan, singing both English and Chinese songs. Her debut album has been a commercial success and her debut song "愛你" (Love You) has more than 60,000,000 views on YouTube.
Kimberley's parents are immigrants of Australia from Malaysia, and was first coached by her father in singing. She was then coached by Vladimir Vais, who is a world-famous conductor and also musical director for the Russian Bolshoi Ballet for over 10 years.
At a young age, Kimberley did photographic work and appeared in a McDonald's commercial, which was aired throughout Asia.
Chen began singing for charities at the age of four with the help of her father. She was performing regularly at charity concerts and clubs. She donated to Australian Community Aid Abroad. When the East Timor Crisis came, she felt strongly for the Timorese and her donation went to Caritas Australia for direct aid to East Timor. In the 2003 Royal Children Hospital Good Friday Appeal on the Seven Network, at the age of 8, she sang and danced "Let's Get Loud" with backing dancers.
Discovered by Grundy Television executive director Michael Whyte, Chen was offered the ongoing role as the featured child model on The Price Is Right for its 2003 revival. She performed in over 400 episodes on the Nine Network for 2 ½ years.
