I feel like I’ve always lived in a musical world. Instead of bedtime stories my dad used to tuck me and my siblings in and sing songs with us. I did a lot of musical theater in high school and later dabbled in opera, or as I like to call it the vocal olympics. You wouldn’t think it, but opera is a workout! I moved from Colorado to Hamburg Germany right out of High school where I lived for about 5 years, during this time I met my producer Nick Nowottny. I liked his long rockin died yellow emo hair, and he liked my wife beaters, and excessive eyeliner. Seeing that we were both such badasses we decided to try to write some music together.
Several years later, though our fashion choices have changed, Nick and I have a friendship and musical connection that I think will last a lifetime. We often joke that we are musical soul mates. I’m in Germany again right now and we are writing my first album together.

I came to Hamburg to record this album about 5 months ago. We are almost finished with the recording, which is good, because my visa runs out in August and I have to go back to the US!
I think the connection between Nick and I is what makes this album unique, and the distance that I had to cross so that we could create this album together. I came all the way from Seattle because I know I could not have written the kind of album that I wanted to write with anyone else.
Well today we wrote a song about lasers, and yesterday we were working on a classical piece inspired by old fairytales. The album starts out classical and evolves into a more electronic feel, there is also some opera in it which I like to incorporate because it feels a little otherworldly to me. I love music because it can transport you to another place. When you are in your car driving to work, and you hear a song you love, you can go somewhere completely different in your mind. I hope when this album is finished it feels like a grand adventure.
It’s really hard to chose a favorite, but the song I think I am most excited about is called Soft. It’s the most classical song on the album, and to me it feels very old and romantic.
I’m going to go back to Seattle once we are finished recording, and I plan to start touring the Album in Europe next Summer.
I think success definitely means something different for everyone. I don’t connect success to money or status. I think it’s all of the little joys that make for a rich life, and I try to learn something new everyday that interests me! Knowledge and happiness make me feel successful.
I think you should definitely keep up with interviewing people who do business via the internet. it’s a great mutually beneficial relationship.

I was introduced to music at a very late age. Until the age of the ten, the only albums I remember being in my home were Michael Jackson’s ‘BAD’ and the soundtrack to The Good The Bad and The Ugly. It wasn’t until a cousin of mine introduced me to act such as Nirvana, Metallica and Smashin Pumpkins that my eyes were opened. Since then I’ve been so passionate about music, and mainly, guitar based bands.

We’ve all known eachother for some time. Mainly through meeting at gigs and festivals. At some point, myself, Daragh and Eoin were chatting about all our favourite music, bands, setups etc.. and we just said, ” hey, we are all into the same stuff, why don’t we write some songs together”.
I hate the idea of saying “it was fate”, but we did gel together very quickly and it was pretty effortless.
We do like our puzzles and games. That, and a short name looks huge on posters.
Tough one. I can only speak for myself really, but there’s a track that seems like quite a different route for us. It’s very minimal. Especially drum wise. I call it the Indie-Urban-Electro Song.
I guess we looked at a lot of our favourite band’s follow ups to their own debuts. We also listened to quite a few experimental bands. Especially those who wrote in unconventional time signatures. That really influenced certain elements of this album, however we still wanted to keep it appealing to everyone who was our first album.
The “CODES Dine With Me” perk. I do love a good meal that I didn’t have to cook. Especially if I’ve got a welsh narration all the way through.
Of course. We’ve had a lot of demand from our European fans and hopefully this time around, we’ll have the ability to bring our show our there.
I don’t believe we’re unique. I guess we simply try to do what’s right for us. It seems to work so far.
Next we’re going to hopefully complete this album, shoot out a single soon and release the album in early 2014.
Just having the ability to keep playing and writing music. Especially if we can keep doing it in a new place every day.
Sometimes it’s the smallest actions that can create the biggest reactions. Always keep doing what you love.

Kayla started taking her voice lessons from an early age, when she was just few years old. She participated and won various singing contests and performed all over the country.
At the age of 16 she made her way to Hollywood with American Idol. Afterwards she came back to Nashville and started working on her own CD which is now brilliantly produced and written by some of Nashville’s best. The music has been recorded and now she is planning its release party. You can be the part of this special event & help her make Nashville history by supporting her crowd-funding campaign here.
I am so grateful that I was able to grow up where music always a part of my life. When I was three, my father shared his love of music with me and would bring me up onstage to sing with his band. At the age of nine I was invited to perform at the MGM Grand in Vegas and I believe that was the turning point of when I really wanted to make this my career. My mother took the time to learn about the music business and she does everything she can to help me live my dreams. Her love and support are always here for me when the journey gets tough.Traveling from town to town for shows gets difficult at times for us with my 5 year old brother but he is a trooper! Growing up in a small town in Florida my friends and family have always been here for me and their support gives me the courage to keep going!
My voice get stronger everyday with the techniques and warm ups I do. I work for a vocal studio here in Nashville, “Brett Manning Studios” and I learn something new everyday! I believe it’s not just about being a good singer and being able to sing a song with high range.. When you’re listening to someone sing you want to be able to close your eyes and believe every word they are singing and feel the emotion they are putting into the song. That is what sets you apart from the others.
Of course! I feel like the most important part of songwriting is when the song comes from your heart. If you mean what you say and have been through what you write about I believe your fans will appreciate you as an artist and be able to connect to you and your songs on a more personal level. My inspirations don’t always come from boys, or going through hard times. I love to look on the bright side of situations and have uplifting messages for my songs.
Do you have any plans for an international tour on your horizon?Being an artist and living in Nashville, Tennessee I’ve been turned down more than once. There’s different ways you can deal with rejection and the way I deal with it is I turn completely to my music. Even if every time you’ve tried before you’ve lost. I believe it’s about getting back up and fighting for what you want over and over again.
Nothing in the works right now..! Staying busy on tour throughout the U.S. It has been a blast being able to meet so many amazing people and share my music with them!
I wanted to make an EP that would stand out from the crowd. A few ways I was able to achieve this was making sure I put the work into releasing a quality product. I have a structure to my EP, I took the time to pick original songs that I believe people can relate to and have a better understanding of who I am and where I want to go as an artist. I am really looking forward to the C.D. release party in the near future! Be Prepared to get NEW MUSIC, TOUR DATES, and EXCITING NEWS about my adventures around the states! Keep a lookout for upcoming Youtube video covers, original music and me just being goofy(:
Being a songwriter as well as a singer, I look up to many of the writers here in Nashville. Taylor Swift being so young when she released her first single “Tim McGraw” has definitely made an impact on me, plus she is a great songwriter and performer. My vocal coach, Brett Manning has taught many successful artists and has always given me support and courage through my musical journey. It has been an honor working with him and for his studio “Brett manning studios” as well as writing songs with him. Martina Mcbride and Faith Hill have always inspired me. Their vocals are so powerful and I love the topics their songs are about, very personal and I can relate too many of them.
I feel what helps me stay on point is to create a “Game Plan” With a reasonable amount of effort on my part and a reasonable amount of faith in the journey.
I constantly revise my game plan as my life, career and my goals change as well. Of course I have many goals I would like to accomplish and check off my list but I’ve realized in this business you are always learning new things to become a better artist, so even if I am able to headline my own tour in the next few years I know I still have a lot to learn!
Words can’t describe the sights, sounds and feelings you experience being a part of one of the most popular shows in America! It was an overwhelming, chaotic at times but amazing journey. 400,000 people auditioned for season 11 of “American Idol” so I am very proud of myself for making it through “Hollywood Week”. It was an honor when all three judges said YES after I performed and shared my story with them. Being on the show I’ve learned to appreciate my talent and how to connect with my audience on a personal level when I am singing. I am more comfortable singing a variety of genres and confident when I am on stage. It’s a life changing experience!
We all have dreams, hope and fears; we have all been bruised and broken. I believe music HEALS and god has given me a beautiful gift to be able to touch someone with the lyrics or melody in a song and it is an amazing feeling. When you dream and have ambitions, and actually work towards them then your future has a goal.. an aim.. something is in store for YOU. Never give up on what you love.
