Artist Bio
Infused with a powerful femininity reminiscent of No Doubt with a modern edge that echoes the stylings of Taylor Swift and Carly Rae Jepson, Boston-based pop-rock artist KALAH KARLOFF has made her impressive debut with the release of her anthem “Outcry”. The title track off of her forthcoming EP, the single’s slick production is complimented by biting lyrics packed with self-reflection and an earworm hook that stays with you long after the music ends.
Hailing from Marlboro, Massachusetts, Kalah’s journey as a singer-songwriter has spanned as long as she can remember. Initially performing in choirs and musical theatre productions, Kalah first put pen to paper in sixth grade and wrote her own original love song, much to the chagrin of her middle school boyfriend. Fast-forwarding to high school, Kalah’s path as an artist took a turn when her contemporary A Cappella group, Voices ReChoired, decided to enter a songwriting competition. Using her newly minted guitar skills that she acquired after being inspired by artists like Ed Sheeran, Kalah got to work and arranged her original song “Aurora”, which was then performed by Voices ReChoired at various showcases across the state. The song was so widely praised that the group decided to professionally record the track, which was later selected by Pitch Perfect’s Deke Sharon to be featured on the 2017 Best of High School A Cappella album. After the success of “Aurora”, Kalah committed to releasing an EP by the conclusion of her college career. As she settled into her dorm room at Northeastern University in Boston, she got to work, writing original song after original song and performing at countless open mic nights. Collaborating with fellow musicians and producers, as well as the on-campus record label Green Line Records, Kalah recorded her song “Crimson” in 2017. From there, the work continued, as she expanded her creative comfort zone and continued to devote herself to her passion project. The result of Kalah’s dedication and drive is her four-track EP, ‘OUTCRY’, to be released on August 28 th , 2020. A story-driven iteration of pop-rock that countless young people can get behind, ‘OUTCRY’ is Kalah’s thunderous emergence into the Boston music scene. Showcasing her strong vocals and uncanny ability to pen a memorable chorus, each track on the record gives the audience a glimpse into the beginnings of a promising career for Boston’s newest pop export. |
