Kayla Marque of Denver has been around music her whole life - her uncle, Larry Dunn, was keyboardist for Earth, Wind & Fire. Our guest is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist whose music is often inspired by the natural beauty that surrounds her in Colorado. Charles and Kayla go deep in our first episode, exploring how the mountain state’s wild seasons find their way into Kayla’s music and personality. Find out how Kayla discovered camping for the first time during the pandemic - “Being able to dive into more of Colorado’s natural beauty that I hadn’t seen before was eye opening and comforting during a time of isolation... It’s feeding into my song writing”. We’ll also hear about Kayla’s new super group project, The Grand Alliance, and how Afrofuturism has shaped their songwriting.
