Kyshona

Storytelling is how we remember, how we teach, and how we carry one another forward. With her new 2024 album LEGACY, acclaimed artist Kyshona digs deep into her family’s 150-year journey—unearthing stories shaped by love, struggle, triumph, and the complicated ways memory moves through generations. In sharing these songs, she invites all of us to remember our own histories, acknowledge our truths, and imagine a more connected future.

Kyshona is an artist fueled by untold stories and the healing power they hold. A licensed music therapist turned singer-songwriter, she creates art that lifts the voices of those who feel silenced, overlooked, or forgotten. Through her organization Your Song, she facilitates therapeutic songwriting sessions for individuals and communities, using music as a tool for dignity, connection, and reconciliation.

Onstage, Kyshona’s presence is electrifying—rich, soulful vocals wrapped in blues, folk, gospel, and roots-rock grooves. Her performances feel like both a celebration and a release, weaving personal history with universal emotion.

With LEGACY, Kyshona offers her most expansive work yet: a tapestry of family stories brought to life through stirring arrangements, tender reflection, and unflinching honesty.
