My name is Kaela. I am a Jazz Studies major at University of North Texas, near Dallas, Texas. I grew up in sunny Florida, which might be the reason that I love being outside. I am a vocalist, pianist, and composer. I am interested in many genres, many collaborations, and creative people. I don't know exactly where my life or music is going yet, but I know in what direction.

Favorite Lyric:

What a day to be alive
What a day to realize I'm not dead
What a day to save a dime

"Bring on the evening hours," I cry
"Bring on the evidence of my life"

I won a Downbeat award last year for Best Jazz Vocalist, was a finalist for the Grammy Jazz Choir, and for the National Foundation for Advancements in the Arts. I was signed to a local label in high school and recorded an album with my band, Cherryhill.

Hello! Saw and read your story as a featured artist and just wanted to say congrats in your accomplishments, and good luck in everything to come! Your music is VERY moving, I especially liked Take You Back. The vocals and music alone gripped me from the beginning. Good luck up at UNT! My sister-in-law graduated from there. I'm trying to head up to Berklee.
