Kyshona

Based in Nashville, Kyshona blends roots rock and R&B with lyrical prowess and a profound capacity for community connectivity. Kyshona lends her voice and music to those who feel silenced, forgotten or alone. She began her career as a music therapist, writing her first songs with patients—students and inmates under her care. She became compelled to write independently and find her own voice, an endeavor which led her to the Nashville creative community and songwriting culture.

Since then, she balances her music career with her passion to heal in community through her organization Your Song. Your Song offers songwriting programs for youth empowerment programs, detention, re-entry, recovery, mental health, and veterans centers and organizations.

She is a sought-after collaborator and a celebrated performer whose 2020 release Listen was voted Best Protest Album of 2020 by Nashville Scene.

Through stories, photos, film, ancestry and genealogy research, and travels in the power of place, Kyshona shares her story while inviting listeners and concert goers to join her in exploration of self, healing and growth.
