ONE TO WATCH: KINSLEY

Rising singer-songwriter and MCA recording artist Kinsley is this week’s “One To Watch.” The 22-year-old grew up in California writing poetry before moving across the country and finally landing in Tennessee.

She released her deeply personal debut EP, Learn To Live, on Friday (September 25), which is already receiving rave reviews for her authenticity and vulnerability. Kinsley wrote every song on the project, alongside several prominent co-writers, including David DeVaul, Chase McDaniel, Scott Stepakoff, Caitlyn Smith, Josh Kerr and more.

She’s processed many of her life experiences by expressing them through her lyrics, letting people in, and realizing she isn’t alone in her struggles. Especially in this debut, she explores the themes of finding herself and getting comfortable with who she is as a person and artist.

She recently signed a global publishing deal with Sony Music Nashville and WME for representation.
