Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
Truth be told, the creative life is one of a lot of ups and downs, and there was a lot of recalibrating for me this year.
I had some enormous opportunities looking bright but which ultimately, due to circumstances disconnected from me, simply didn't work out.
But due to your ongoing generosity and support, I've been able to continue to create and share as always, while developing educational courses I'm tremendously proud to have published, garnering increasing support and enthusiasm for my work.
There is so much still in development, but it's been a year of serious growth and progress, while reaching the world with a lot more beauty, stories, and peace.
I'll share some of the highlights below, made possible by my incredible patrons.
100k+ Monthly Listeners!
With your help and support, I was able to continue to create and release a lot of music, reach 1 million streams on an album, and, this month, hit the new threshold of 100k+ listeners on streaming sites across my three projects.
This doesn't include many listening on social media, where my music is often used in reels, or the other places I've had my music placed. The head spins at those numbers!
It's incredible.
Truly not possible without you!
I get so many messages from people saying how much my music has impacted them, often even as daily listeners.
(This means way more to me than the stats.)
It is a serious joy to be the soundtrack of the lives of so many.
I wish I could go tell me as a child. She'd be so happy and proud.

Ambassador for Beauty
I began what I will always see as one of the greatest honors of my life: becoming an official ambassador for my late uncle's body of work as a renowned abstract Canadian painter.
The Terrence Keller Estate has officially sponsored a year-long podcast that is fully launching in 2026, where I will be speaking regularly about art, culture, and my life and experience as a singer and writer. I can't wait to share it all.
I will start publicly sharing the podcast more soon, and in the meantime, you can view his work and inquire about purchasing a painting here:

Courses!
I have long had a passion for arts education, and a desire to find a way to affordably package so much of what I benefited from growing up.
Due in particular to the key support of a couple of patrons, I was able to develop a new singing course, appropriate for all ages but with children in impoverished areas in mind. It's simple, but a full distillation of the most important components of singing beautiful from my decades of experience.
I was also able to package my 2021 Art Episodes into a new course format.
I love these courses because they truly are universal, with people of all ages benefiting from them.
These are great for artistic exposure, creative development, and personal nervous system relaxation - something we all need.

The Fight for Beauty Continues
Due to support, as with everything I do creatively, I've been able to take on singing semi-regularly at a nearby church as well as begin, in 2026, to look to offer by-donation lecture/music hybrid select in-person events to encourage deeper engagement in the arts in LA and the surrounding area. I have big plans to reach many more people with my courses.
I also have some outstanding projects I am feverishly trying to finish: a manual about integrating our principles with art, the somewhat-elusive sacred music/Rosary project, the final touches on a small film, and ongoing composition, writing, and recording.
But this all is only possible with the generous patrons who form the backbone of my work. I am so grateful for you! My time is easily eaten up otherwise in other necessary work.
It would mean the world to me for you to consider supporting me as a paid member again this year, or if you're new here, consider becoming a member for the first time. I am planning to share a lot more exclusive value with you inside the membership in 2026.
I am also available in 2026 for some formal speaking engagements and singing performances via the "Book Kay" button below.
Wishing you and yours all the best in the year to come!
