Kayla Jo is a singer/songwriter from Newville, PA. Her personal hardships and nomadic lifestyle have strongly influenced the way she writes. At a very young age Kayla was writing songs, poems, and short stories. She was an avid reader as a child and became inspired by the power of storytelling. As the artist has grown, she's learned to incorporate her own experiences and the stories of those around her and re-tell these stories through lyrics and melodies.
Kayla participated in choir and theatre during her school years and found herself enamored by the way a crowd can be so engaged and inspired. Around the age of 13, Kayla got her first guitar and taught herself to play; She later picked up the ukulele and has future plans to learn other string instruments in order to create a sound that is well-rounded and inspired by various genres of music.
In 2021, Kayla Jo began a petition on Change.org to address Alpha-Gal food allergies and the lack of regulation in FDA labeling. As of 2024, the petition has grown to well over the needed 1,000 signatures and Kayla has began consulting with the offices of her local Senate and House Representatives to gain support. She plans to continue seeking support from other representatives across the US and informing them of their constituent's concerns. Once this petition officially becomes a bill and is passed, any/all mammal based products or other ingredients containing Alpha-Gal will be properly identified and added to the FDA's list of major food allergens.
After beginning her relationship with GoatHead Records, Kayla Jo participated in a Q&A which was later published on the GoatHead website. Throughout the article, readers get a closer look at what inspires the artist to create music and stay motivated through the process.
