Music that feels like champagne.
Growing up in the shadows of Chicago, Kingsley was raised to the rhythms of house music. The third eldest daughter of eight, she demonstrated a strong desire to perform and sing from an early age. She sang before she could talk, belting out Disney tunes and performing for family and friends. She joined the choir when she was 8 and taught herself to play guitar and piano. By the age of 10, she started a family band with two of her sisters called, Heartfilled. Inspired by The Jonas Brothers, Kingsley wrote and produced her music to match their memorable iconic pop style.
In 2011, after self-producing her first single "Lie Detector" in her parent’s basement studio, Kingsley knew she had to go to college to study music. It was during her college days Kingsley started an all-female, a cappella group, and developed skills in composing and arranging. This path wasn’t easy, yet she completed it successfully, graduating with double degrees in Vocal Performance and Business Administration.
A week after graduating from college, Kingsley planted roots in Portland, Oregon, and immediately landed an internship as the marketing liaison at The Old Church, a small indie venue her abilities and knowledge of the music industry made big waves moving her on to work for The Roseland Theater as Head of Marketing. During her time at the Roseland, Kingsley was immersed in the industry she dreamed of being part of, although she was far from the stage.
After leaving the Roseland Therater to pursue music full-time, Kingsley became the forefront of Portland’s fierce, female-led underground music scene. Hailed as an artist who has “crafted a sound that transcends genres and challenges expectations (PRP),” Kingsley has had the opportunity to play sold-out shows, record at Abbey Road, and launch an incredible merch line.
Kingsley’s latest album, Crying on Holidays (2021), is now streaming on all platforms. Listen to the album here. Since COVID, Kingsley has rebuilt her brand from local indie-pop artist to an alt-pop international recording artist and thought leader in her community. She’s played shows across the world, launched a lipstick line, hosted meditation and breathwork retreats, and is about to launch a new record that represents self-love and celebrating one’s strength.
Not only is she a talented pop songwriter and singer, as well as, a beauty + wellness entrepreneur who has created an engaged community through embracing authenticity. Listen to My Love (Jan 2024), the first single of her 8-track 3rd studio record, Come & Find Me (2025) on all streaming platforms.
Kingsley’s connection with you doesn’t stop at music, because she’s not just a singer. She’s a multi-hyphenate artist, entrepreneur, speaker, thought leader, and community builder who is building a better world, one Baddie at a time.
