Born and raised in Austin, Texas, 23-year-old Kayla Katz has a gift she's eager to share with the world. With a velvety smooth voice mature beyond her years, the singer-songwriter is filled with musical passion. 

Kayla has enjoyed a deep love of music since early childhood. Music has always been a centerpiece of the Katz family, So when Kayla began playing guitar, she knew she was a part of the next generation; tasked with carrying on the family’s heart-centered style of music. 

As the singer-songwriter has grown, she has maintained her soulful passion for the craft, while establishing her own roots in the industry. With her first single hitting over 90,000 streams on spotify, the up-and-coming musician continues to record and produce all of her music. From opening for Jade Bird to Melissa Carper, her favorite part of performing is witnessing her music move people to deep emotion. In a profession that can become incredibly audience-driven, Kayla has also learned the value of singing to honor her emotions and personal truth. "If it's not authentic to the human experience I won't be putting it out there." Her style can best be described as a mash up of Indie-folk-country-acoustic that comes together to create an interpersonal experience with her audience as well as a fresh take on roots of faith.  

Kayla was not raised in a Christian household, but discovered her connection to Christ in college. This grounding faith has allowed her to keep family-centered writing that allows her to connect to a variety of peoples. Her deep connection to God has allowed her to incorporate faith into her songwriting, though she does not consider herself an explicitly Christian artist.
