Born and bred amidst the vibrant pulse of Chicago, Kingsley's journey through music began before she could even form words, her melodies echoing through the halls of her childhood home. As the third eldest daughter in a bustling household of eight, her passion for performance and song burned brightly. From Disney tunes to impromptu concerts for friends and family, Kingsley's voice was her earliest instrument, an instrument she honed alongside her self-taught skills on guitar and piano. At the tender age of 10, Kingsley, along with two of her sisters, ignited the stage as the heart and soul of the family band, Heartfilled, drawing inspiration from the infectious pop melodies of The Jonas Brothers. Fuelled by her love for creating music, she ventured into self-production, birthing her debut single "Lie Detector" in the cosy confines of her parent's basement studio. Driven by her unwavering passion, Kingsley embarked on a dual journey, pursuing degrees in Vocal Performance and Business Administration during her college years. It was here that she not only fine-tuned her musical prowess but also nurtured her entrepreneurial spirit, laying the groundwork for her future endeavours. Upon graduating, Kingsley set her sights on the fertile grounds of Portland, Oregon, where she quickly immersed herself in the local music scene.

With a sound that defied convention and a spirit that soared beyond boundaries, she captivated audiences far and wide, from sold-out shows to legendary recording sessions at Abbey Road. Kingsley's musical odyssey reached new heights with the release of her latest album, "Crying on Holidays" (2021), a testament to her evolution as an artist and storyteller. In the wake of the global pandemic, she reinvented herself, transcending geographical borders to emerge as a beacon of resilience and empowerment. Beyond her musical pursuits, Kingsley's influence extends into the realms of beauty and wellness, where she has carved out a niche as an entrepreneur and thought leader.
