Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Kyndyl Miller. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Kyndyl, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Can you talk to us about a project that’s meant a lot to you?
Being a musician, you get gigs that you love to do, and gigs that you don’t love to do. And I’ve certainly had my fair share of projects that I haven’t wanted to invest my all into. So when a project that you love comes along, it definitely reawakens your soul and give you that boost and drive that you initially had when wanting to be a musician. Recently, I met a friend who inspired me to write more instrumental music, which is something I always did for myself when I was younger. Through Rippling Records, I have now been able to release my instrumental piano music and without any inhibition, will continue releasing this music once a month!
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
I began my musical career at a young age, taking piano lessons and eventually getting my Masters Degree at New York University in Piano Studies. During my time there, I met many different musicians from different genres and realized I wanted to create my own music, rather than pursuing a classical music career. Though I have taken a break from my artist project KYYN, I have decided to revitalize the project and incorporate peaceful piano music in addition to future songs where I’ll be singing.
In your view, what can society to do to best support artists, creatives and a thriving creative ecosystem?
Artists in general have multiple people behind them, especially in music. I think there needs to be a lot more recognition of songwriters who are always behind the scenes working so hard. Giving recognition and paying the songwriters a fair amount will definitely create a thriving and healthy industry.
Looking back, are there any resources you wish you knew about earlier in your creative journey?
In general, free resources such a Youtube or the Library would’ve been great if I had utilized these earlier. There’s such a plethora of knowledge around, if you know what you want to do, there will be people and books out there to teach and share the experiences needed to fulfill your career.
