Kayla started singing along side her father on stage at the young age of 2. Over the years she has brought her music to school assemblies, worship services, and recently recorded her 2nd album entitled, "All Things New." Kayla's Christian faith has been very meaningful to her life and her music. Kayla explains that her style of music is to tell a story that can connect with others as well as include a redemptive message. Here is an excerpt of Kayla describing herself and her music:
My name is Kayla Rae Atkins, and I’m a small town girl from Kansas. I learned hard work ethics growing up “on the farm” through small town, country-like living. I learned to be a neighbor and a friend to all because that’s how we all were. It wasn’t exactly Mayberry but definitely close!
I aspire for my songs be simple and real, just like the land I grew up in. As certain as the early morning sun, so was the promise of God’s faithfulness to me. As you listen, I pray you sense a thread of His redemption running through these songs, and that you find hope and healing for your own journey.
For decades, I've been influenced by the voices of singers like Amy Grant and Celine Dion, the sounds and stories of country music, and the timeless melodies of church music. And as I've begun sharing my own music with the world, I've found my own voice as a singer and a songwriter.
I released my first album Rhythms of Grace in 2012, and I'm beyond excited to share with you my sophomore album All Things New, featuring the singles Freedom, Suddenly, and The One Who Keeps His Promise.
