Originally from Kansas City, Missouri, Kala Masters learned to play the piano in elementary school. Soon after, Kala began singing too.

She gained experience performing at local venues and even appeared on a Snake Saturday Parade float, singing for crowds at this Kansas City area St. Patrick’s Day tradition. Working with a producer in a professional studio, Kala recorded her first album. Putting a major project together was challenging, but the music was fun. Although it may seem like a hobby, Kala treated it like a job and devoted herself to learning through the process. Her sound evolved, utilizing unique dance aspects. Highly versatile, her music is appealing to a wide array of audiences. Released on her EP, 12:34, the alternative-dance hit, “Million Grand,” was featured on various radio stations including 96.5 The Buzz Alternative, 90.9 Alternative, 105.9 Kiss FM, and more. From the same project, her upbeat, fun, and empowering pop song, “I Don’t Need You,” gained nearly 50k listens.

In 2015, she attended The University of Central Missouri to complete a 2-year program with a concentration in production, music technology, and audio engineering. With several fields of interest, she is now going to school for nursing, balancing her creative work and continuing education. Extensive knowledge allows her to open unique aspects in her songs. Anything she studies for a length of time ends up in her music.

Of both Native American and Scottish descent, she comes from a diverse cultural background, which is also incorporated into her creative work.
