Local vocalist responds to hate with healing.

Boston, Massachusetts, USA — Wednesday, August 26th, 2020 — In the middle of a very tense political period a local vocalist and former political activist, Kay Marion, has chosen to use music to promote empathy with the release of her first single, “Uncle Sam”.

The mixed responses to the Black Lives Matter movement and the urgency around racial conflict within the United States has been created a very emotional environment for BiPOC and their allies. As the journey towards reconciliation continues, more and more artists are using their art to provide audiences with a healing experience. A native of North Carolina, Kay Marion joins the new wave of artists releasing music with political messages by chronicling her experience as a Black woman and an activist in a melodic way.

When asked about her politically motivated piece by Women Advance News, Marion said,”It comes naturally, I think—just because I happen to be passionate about both [politics and music].

Kay penned her debut single with the intention of resolution and hopes to add to the discussion of healing with this haunting political piece.

“Uncle Sam” by Kay. is now streaming on all platforms and Kay Marion can be reached through her website: https://www.kaysingseverything.com/.

ABOUT

Kay Marion is a Black singer-songwriter and actress from High Point, North Carolina. Coming from a family of musicians, her passion for the performing arts has led to her training in several fields including film/television, theatre, classical performance, and R&B performance. She acquired her Bachelors of Arts degrees in Music and Public Policy from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and is currently working on her Masters of Music in Vocal Performance from Longy School of Music of Bard College. She plans to build a performance career that spans across genres. Her passion for the creation of art is derived from the duality of her Black experience. That duality is exemplified in the freedom and emotional range that soul music demands and the disciplined conflict that taking space in the classical realm entails. She believes that showing up to her art with her whole self is what most often allows her to create pieces and performances that not only inspire people to think/feel differently but to take action. Her goal is for her authenticity in both classical and soul music to be a part of bringing about freedom-inspired change and healing.
