Kayla Rivers is 22 years old and was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Kayla always had ambitions of making it big in the world of music, and at the age of 16 she taught herself how to play guitar. In attempt at following her dreams, she moved to California at aged just 19, she bought a cheap apartment and spent all her money on showcasing and recording her music. Kayla however faield to impress major labels from her time in LA and this resulted in her becoming broke and being forced to move back home to Philly just 12 months later. Kayla got a job as a waitress at her local restaurant and worked there until she had built up enough money to follow her dreams again. On her 21st birthday, her parents gave her enough money to record several demos in a cheap recording studio in Memphis where she successfully recorded and self-produced 4 demos. Kayla then started debuting her recorded material at her local clubs and bars. After positive acclaim from her local newspapers/critic's she started playing on a wider scale, touring the east coast as a support act in an Unsigned Act's Tour. At 22 years old now, Kayla feels she is now ready for her second and perhaps final attempt at tackling the music industry, together with her father as he manager.

Kayla Rivers - Here I Am

UserPostedImage

Length: 4:02
Genre: Pop-rock, Rock, Pop-punk
Recorded: March 2011 in Memphis
Writer: Kayla Rivers
Producer: Kayla Rivers
Label: Unsigned

Promotional single, click here to download FREE!

Song Description: Here I Am is a pop rock power ballad incorporating many different elements. It tells a candid tale of the hardships that arise when you are living without someone you love for some reason or another. The empowering lyrics are matched with pounding drums and a beat that is sure to exhaust your foot prior to the concluding notes, with a emotional chorus. An inspiring opening of dexterous string arrangements and mellow vocals emphatically transcends into a soaring chorus. The song is said to be the heaviest she had recorded during her time in Memphis. The production on the song isn't the strongest, but, for being self-produced Kayla makes a good job on it.

Lyrics:

I feel so close to you yet so distant too
Sitting all alone all day, I wish I there was something I could say
Looking to the stars, searching for mars
Is this where you really are, this may be just too far
Seeing your smile, would be worth every mile
Ill be waiting here, and I will never ever disappear


Here I am
I will stand, until I feel your hand
Here I am
Lying in bed, not knowing what’s ahead, wishing I was dead
This home feels everything but right, I need you back tonight


Give your head a rest they say, but my mind can’t be swayed
Try to make a sound, maybe then you could be found
Why is this happening to me, if it means seeing you then ill plea
We could build our own paradise, ill ignore all there stupid advice
You keep me holding on, without you I feel so withdrawn
I want to escape, if only it was as easy as wearing a cape


Here I am
I will stand, until I feel your hand
Here I am
Lying in bed, not knowing what’s ahead, wishing I was dead
This home feels everything but right, I need you back tonight


Up all night, looking at our old photos
(Here I Am)
The memories we had, will last forever
(Here I Am)
Remembering the times, over and over
(Here I Am)
This is the reason I sing for you, I dont know what else to do, please come back soon


Here I am
I will stand, until I feel your hand
Here I am
Lying in bed, not knowing what’s ahead, wishing I was dead
This home feels everything but right, I need you back tonight
Here I am



Kayla's Comments: Hey you guys! I hope you enjoy my debut single Here I Am. It will not be available to purchase on iTunes or any other music download site, but don't fear.. it will be available to download FREE tonight! Exciting. Here I Am was written originally about about my teddy bear when i was younger, which my parents said went into space (they lost it) and it won't come back. So i wrote about it being away from me and how bad i felt, but then 12 months ago, my ex-boyfriend joined the army and was shipped out to Afghanistan. So i then developed the song a little more to fit that but kept some of the existing elements. I hope you all like it! Oh and also, im currently on the look for a label, someone to produce my debut EP and any support slots on a tour going. Hopefully something can materialize. For now, i will let you all go, but check back soon because i will be doing a video chat answering questions sent in by YOU! Much love. KR x

BOO! Guess Who!?

UserPostedImage

Hi all! Its been quite some time, I know! Have you missed me? Probably not. More like forgotten me! Hehe.

Anyways, so over the past 3-4 months ive been writing an EP.. which will now in turn be released as an 8-track album! Im super stoked about this. Its been a weird past few months. I got signed.. which actually, delayed things, getting legal things sorted out, but im so lucky to have support from Chaos Records. To have a major label like that behind you, its crazy. Anyway, I also performed in England with Aaron Marks and Sammy Griffen. To play with 2 talented musicians like those boys, was the best experience in my life. To play music before them at such big venues with so much kids was.. incredible. I can't thank them 2 enough for their support!
But of course, love and heartbreak follows me around everywhere. That has been a real influence for my debut, its a roller coaster ride of an LP!

First stop getting a new single out. I really want to get something out for you guys, just a big thank you for staying patient with me! I know it may seem like ive been doing nothing, but in truth, ive been super super busy! A release date? Hmm, maybe early Feb but I might give you a sneak premier a the end of this month :)! Just because im sooo nice!
LP just needs mixing now and then its complete! After it gets mixed, ill send it to the record label, and get their thoughts on it. All being well,it should be on the shelves around March.

Once again, thank you so so much for staying patient! I can't wait to get this new music out!

Love Kayla
