I’m Kenya M., and I’m so happy you’re here and ready to begin this vocal journey. I’ve been a professional singer for over 20 years, performing throughout the U.S., Canada, and Italy in a variety of musical styles - from Classical and Opera to Latin Jazz and Brazilian Bossa Nova; and have even contributed to Grammy nominated albums. Whether I’m on stage with my Brazilian Jazz ensemble, or performing classical works, music has is (and has always been) at the center of my life. As a Professional Vocalist, Speaker, and award-winning Confidence Coach (and mother of two teens), I’ve had the joy of working with thousands of singers and leaders helping each of them build confidence, trust in their voice, and a deeper connection to their sound. I look forward to seeing you in a lesson, workshop or virtual program soon!
