Shaping the Worlds of Music, Film & Publishing:
“A True Renaissance Woman Kaylene Peoples is a visionary whose career defies conventional boundaries. Whether through her award-winning music, film, or publishing endeavors, she continues to break new ground. Her relentless pursuit of artistic excellence and dedication to empowering others make her a true renaissance woman of the modern era.” – Adonis Harris, Essence Weekly Magazine
I’m thrilled to share that I’m on the cover of Essence Weekly Magazine! As an artist, I’ve been fortunate to explore so many creative paths, from jazz and Bossa-nova to publishing, film, and beyond. With every project—whether it’s releasing music, conducting symphonies, or working with my team at AGENDA Magazine—I aim to bring something fresh and meaningful to the table.
From my early days with All Jazzed Up! and the incredible journey that followed with albums like My Man (where I worked literally with music legends) to the Grammy ballot and international acclaim for Romantic Bossa-Nova, it’s been a wild ride. And being asked to perform with CAB in 2016, playing Chick Corea’s complex compositions, was one of the highlights of my career.
But my artistic vision has always stretched beyond just one medium. As a filmmaker, my film Redemption took home awards and proved to be a rewarding experience, blending my love for storytelling with music. Now, with AGENDA Magazine thriving after 20 years (thank you, Feedspot, for naming us a top magazine in LA!), and KL Publishing Group continuing to launch exciting literary works, it feels like everything is coming together.
I’m currently working on two albums, Doppelganger and Romantic Bossa-Nova 2, and I can’t wait for you to hear them. Being called a “Renaissance Woman” is such an honor, but at the heart of it all, I’m just doing what I love—and I hope to inspire others along the way. Thanks, Essence Weekly, for this incredible feature!
