Kismet is a duo of dreamers doing all the things their favorite forerunners imbued in them. Sonia, for instance, worked at a Recycling Center where she learned to utilize materials donated from the community to use toward creative play, engaging whole families or one child at a time. More impressively, Sonia has worked at Art City in City Museum for 11 years. She celebrated her 11th year July 2 of 2014. Tom, on the other hand, was inspired by a shop in Omaha, NE Called the Antiquarium that sold records, books and art and provided a safe place for locals to hang out, drink coffee, read books, play chess, and philosophize. Later on in life, inspired by said cultural center, Tom moved to Durango, Colorado where he opened his own record store / art gallery / venue which lasted 4 years. A large part of Tom’s music collection comes from this endeavor. Following Durango, Tom moved to Denver where he worked at one of the finest record stores in the country for 2 more years.
