“Finding My Voice: From Film Composer to Jazz Vocalist –UK’s “Your Spirit Magazine” Cover Story

I’m really excited to share this interview! I had the chance to reflect on my career and how my journey took me from being a TV ghostwriter and film score composer to becoming a jazz/Bossa-nova vocalist. There’s so much great insight packed in there, and I have to give major applause to Spirit Magazine for their thoughtful, well-researched questions. It’s one of the few times I actually had to stop and think about my responses—it was an intelligent and engaging conversation, and I’m proud to be featured in their September Special Issue 2024. The cover story is titled “Kaylene Peoples: The Art of Musical Mastery,” and here is a link to the online version and my article! https://yourspiritmagazine.com/2024/09/11/kaylene-peoples-the-art-of-musical-mastery/
