Kayla
Kayla currently works at a record store and is an undergraduate psychology student, but her dream is to be a musician. She’s been writing music as long as she can remember and hopes to start releasing it this year. The only thing Kayla loves as much as she loves music is her dog, Nico. She started Off The Record as a place to pursue both her passion for music and writing, but mostly to connect with other people who love music as much as she does. Three albums she would use to describe herself are Come What(ever) May (Stone Sour), Breach (twenty øne piløts) and Good Riddance (Gracie Abrams).
