| About Kara Kay Music |
A strong, clear and penetrating voice with wide range and versatility that has often been described as having the combined vocal qualities of artists such as Sarah McLaughlin, Loreena Mckennitt, Enya, K.D. Lang, Lisa Gerrard and Diana Krall. A bit of alternative folk with a tendency for jazzy, bluesy, reggae and middle eastern flurries to seep through. Moody lyrics that resonate with the deep rooted emotional and societal issues that affect and plague us all, yet still search for and conclude with optimistic resolutions.
Born and raised in the desert of Phoenix, Arizona.
Studied and played music from childhood. Instraments include Trumpet, Piano, Guitar, Bass, Flute, Harmonica, Drums(Dumbek, Djembe, Percussion) Autoharp and Hammered Dulcimar. Was a part of Arizona's Rock, Reggae, Jazz, Blues, Middle Eastern and Experimental music scenes for nearly a decade.
Worked, performed, jammed and recorded with various bands and artists from 1997-2006. A few names some may be familiar with include; ((Named here are only those with whom actual recorded tracks can be found somewhere out there.)) Kill Taboo, Dumi Hlangwane, Rock Steady, Bill Foss, Slim Golba's 'The Overtones', Chris Chattom's 'Joined' with Ralo & Cleopache, Harold Moses, Infinite Momentum, Keith Secola's 'Wild Band of Indians', DR Wilk's 'Droll' , Off Axis Jazz Band, Elemental, Elephants Love Sex, as well as others.
Finally stepped out with a guitar and debuted a solo performance in California at the Telemagica Festival this past May 2007. Recorded solo demo in Tempe, AZ @ Red Mountain Studios on December 27th 2007. Recently relocated and is hiding out in the midwest, writing, practicing, writing, practicing.
The rest is yet to unfold and be told...
