With the release of her three-song EP in August 2011, much of the music world is getting its first glimpse of one of pop music’s most exciting young singer/songwriters, Kailey Billings. Kailey's first single is "Melody," an irresistibly catchy pop/rock tune with dynamic drums and passionate vocals. The song is about the desire to stand out, whether that be in music, a relationship, etc. This song is also a great introduction to Kailey, whose clear and innocent yet soulful mezzo-soprano and dynamic stage presence have made her stand out in a crowd and on stage since she was a tiny child.
Kailey has been singing since she could talk. I assure you, there are home videos of her in 1992 singing Christmas carols into a brand new plug-in microphone she got for Christmas (there is also footage of her pushing her younger sister, Kelsey, out of the way whenever she tried to join in). Kailey wrote her first song at age 3, performed in her first musical at age 4, and made up a song at age 5 called "the Bread Song". She would perform this song to get free food at Outback Steakhouse. As you can see, She developed her passion for music at a very very early age, and it all went downhill from there. Described as a more upbeat and optimistic Jewel, this 22-year-old singer/songwriter/guitarist/pianist is a powerhouse performer. As a student at the University of Miami, Kailey, now a senior, united with fellow students John Keener (Drums) and Russell Klein (Bass) in January 2010 and can't wait to see what the future has in store for them as a band.
