Dom L'Amour speaks with Artist Bovell AKA Kaylan Royston (@kaylan.bovellroyston) about life as an Artist, why we preform, people you surround yourself with and so much more Ever wonder about the heartbeat behind the music, the stories etched into an artist's soul? Join me, Dom L'Amour, as I sit down with the remarkably gifted Bovell, also known as Kaylan Royston, to explore the emotional landscape of an artist's life. In our candid conversation, we pull back the curtain on the struggles that shape us—like wrestling insecurities and resisting the urge to simply mirror the latest trends. We delve into how transitioning from a conservatory to a college can shape or shake one's artistic journey, and why staying true to oneself is the cornerstone of creativity. As if sitting in on a private jam session, you'll hear us recount the sacrifices and synchronicities that mark the life of a performer, from the pangs of missed university traditions to the raw education of the stage. We share tales of summer theater and how it molds us, the gravity of auditioning, and the juggling act of following our passion versus ticking off traditional education boxes. Bovell's insights from his time at Berklee reveal just how valuable authenticity is in an industry that's all too easy to lose oneself in. In the crescendo of our dialogue, we illuminate the intricate dance of balancing life's many roles, and the joy found in the simplicity of everyday experiences that inform our art. We ponder the alchemy of songwriting, where personal narratives and unfiltered emotions entwine to birth music that resonates with the soul. I'll even give you a glimpse into my own artistic revelations and how the mundane—like married life—can be a muse in disguise. So tune in and let's celebrate the rhythm of life, the symphony of self-authenticity, and the harmony that comes from embracing the full spectrum of who we are, both on and off the stage.
