Kahari Kyles is the real deal. Using music as a formative weapon, this cover artist chooses stick-to-your-brain infectious melodies and dactylic lyrics that any audience can identify with and jam out to. Having a commanding stage presence and the colossal vocal range that spans 3½ octaves, the singer channels a range of emotions from being the underdog carrying a slew of motivational tunes in his musical palette, to the ups and downs of romance, to being the rambunctious voice touching on socio-political matters that affect the everyday American. Self described as “a beautifully complex personality with a pureness of a true Gemini’s heart,” Kahari has the right mix of obnoxious humor and educated class; both perfect elements for the crucial combination of hipster street smartness and vulnerable femininity. Choosing Kahari as an opening act or headliner definitely proves worthy of a showstopping night of entertainment. “The concept of success for me has drastically changed as I’ve gotten older. I used to see myself as an international sensation singing in front of a stadium full of people. And while that is still something to aspire to, I find the most magic in an intimate setting. Starting off small allows me to grow and brings forth effort. For me, this isn’t a competition. It’s about me allowing my own inner light to shine and sharing that spark with a room full of people.”
