An International Talent

She's a musician and songwriter formed from a diverse palette: the unassuming Saskatchewan prairies in Canada; the greatest books of Western civilization; an old-world European sensibility; the tragic melancholy and gritty Catholicism of Ireland; 19th-century Russian novels and 20th-century British literature; the robust, brave joy of Africa; and the fighting American spirit.

There are many conventional ways to sing her praises as an artist: her experience from a young age with record labels and TV in the the music industry; her songwriting with award-winning writers like Andy Hill (Celine Dion, Westlife, Diana Ross); the literary approbation of respected figures; the varied artistic, humanitarian, and entrepreneurial projects she's worked on; her published essays; singing for state and church dignitaries in Europe; and notable awards and grants.  

Her work as a singer-songwriter brought her into close association with managers, music industry moguls, writers, and companies launching the careers of people like Natalie Imbruglia, Jack Savoretti, and recent Disney's Next Big Thing alumni, JAGMAC. She has close friendships with award-winning writers, screenwriters, filmmakers, and culture-shapers.

But what really matters isn't the accolades or connections: it's that she is good. Exquisitely good.

She begs comparisons with Eva Cassidy, Brooke Fraser, and Sarah McLachlan, yet remains unique. Vocally, she is flawless--a craftsman of the human voice and its capacity for beauty and expression.  

As a writer, she is creative, insightful, unique, incisive, poetic--a wordsmith.  

As a performer, she is charming, elegant, captivating--a sheer delight.

She is also classic within her genre--think Joni Mitchell, with whom she shares both a hometown and lyrical sensibility; think the great flourish of the 90s female singer-songwriter, but with homegrown values. When listening to her, anyone familiar can't help but hearken back to the timeless work of artists like Jewel, Tracy Chapman, Jann Arden, Paula Cole, and the many other greats of that time--when intelligent lyrics, skilful storytelling, and beautiful vocal quality were paramount.

Her work has brought her across Canada and the US, throughout Europe, and into major music hubs like London, Nashville, and Los Angeles, where she currently resides.

Seeing the continuing degradation of the secular music industry--constantly reaching new moral lows and becoming increasingly, radically politicized--she decided in favour of independent rebuilding culture work over a path in the traditional music industry as a musician and performer. She chose this believing whole-heartedly that a new era of arts & culture can emerge through the courage and excellence of the world's best artists of integrity, and all people of good will committed to building it. Her cultural aspirations for America and beyond are profound and far-reaching.

All of us here at the Kay Clarity Team believe she is an incredible voice for a new era in America and beyond, which is why we stand firmly behind her.

She has only just begun. Come along for the journey.
