Sweety High: Do you come from a musical family? 

Kayleigh Rose: I don't come from a completely musical family. Most of my family members' hobbies don't involve music, but they fully support me in my music.

SH: How did you first get into making music?

KR: I first got into making music when the eighth grade talent show had arrived and I wanted to try out. I had never sang and I hadn't been playing piano for very long. I was very nervous, but I made tryouts and most people were very surprised when they heard me sing for the first time. I guess I was too. I didn't know I had it in me.

 

SH: Out of the instruments you play, is there one that you love to play the music?

KR: I play piano and little bit of guitar. Piano is my first love, so of course, I love playing music on it.

SH: What is your favorite part about making music?

KR: Music takes me to another world, where I don't have to think. My mind goes numb and I am completely enthralled with sounds.

 

SH: How would you describe your musical style?

KR: I would probably call it piano pop, but in a cool way…

 

SH: Who are some of the musicians that you look up to in the industry?

KR: I definitely look up to Pink and Adele. I have great respect for them and their music. I also love Coldplay.

 

SH: What has been your most memorable onstage experience?

KR: When I was on stage, I was so nervous singing that I was shaking. Soon the crowd got into it and the people were listening, not just hearing. Actually listening. That's my ultimate goal, to guide people to listen to the music.

 

SH: What are you up to next?

KR: My next step is of course to write more music, but also record more and get out and perform for more people to hear me and to entertain them with some valuable music.

SH: Is there anything else that you'd like to add?

KR: I appreciate all the support from everyone around me. Especially my parents. I wouldn't be anywhere if it weren't for them. I also wouldn't be anywhere if it weren't for God, who gave me this incredible gift to touch people with my creativity in music and my voice. All of my journey in music belongs to him.
