Songwriter by trade,
storyteller by heart
When Kaylee was just ten years old, she found her father’s old guitar in her family’s basement. Two short years later, he tragically passed away from cancer. In coping with her loss, Kaylee began teaching herself how to play using her father’s old guitar books.
Kaylee spent the next several years honing her skills and traveling from her home in Boston to Nashville and LA to participate in writing sessions. In 2020, she gained traction on Tik Tok after posting a video featuring her song “Her Song,” garnering over half a million views. She went on to release the song, which has now climbed to nearly two million streams.
THE FIRST BOP
Kaylee’s next few songs continued to captivate her audience. Catchy melodies and the infectiousness of her warm personality scored affection from fans. Her subsequent releases secured her a nomination for Pop Artist of the Year and New Artist of the Year at the Boston Music Awards, as well as a nomination for Pop Act of the Year at the 2021 New England Music Awards where she worked with notable producers including Bleu (Demi Lovato, Michelle Branch), Peter Thomas, and Jake Watt.
TURNING EARS
Kaylee’s dyslexia made school a difficult endeavor. Through music, she fell in love with storytelling, and when she wrote words for singing, they became friendlier on her eyes. Even so, Kaylee jokes that her songwriting career is ironic given how often she has to contend with her dyslexia when writing.
CONQUERING ACADEMIA
When she’s not writing and producing in the studio, Kaylee is playing shows. She had the opportunity to open for Ally Brooke of Fifth Harmony and former American Idol alum, Crystal Bowersox. Kaylee’s live shows are about connecting with her fans. “One of the most amazing things anyone can feel is heard and listened to. I want to make my listeners feel exactly that when they come to my shows. As if we’re just having a conversation,” Kaylee explains.
AT HOME ON THE STAGE
One of the most amazing things someone can feel is heard and listened to.
Kaylee’s live show is a dazzling blend of beautiful singing, a live vocoder—played by Kaylee herself—crazy guitar loops and tracks, and delightfully sticky rhythms. From weddings to clubs to theaters, Kaylee can enact the perfect mood for any environment.
