May 16, 2013I contacted Kayla approximately a month before coming to NYC from SC and she was very easy to correspond with in getting all the details hammered out. I had a carriage ride arranged in central park and her and the driver contacted each other to make sure the location and timing was perfect. After I proposed Kayla sang At Last by Etta James while me and my fiance slow danced and it was very romantic and she did it with no music! She has an amazing voice and I would recommend her for any occasion your planning!

April 23, 2013Kayla Scott is a singer that I have worked with in both a live & studio setting. One of talents that struck me right away, in the studio, was her ability to take direction and execute. Even the the smallest nuance was able to be altered by her, vocally, and still keep that great performance.
I've seen numerous times the audience respond to Kayla when she has a featured spot on stage. She's a joy to listen to. She delivers it with rock'in soul & musical integrity. Kayla would be a great vocal asset in any situation. Mark Fineberg Saxophonist/Producer

April 18, 2013Kayla Scott is incredibly professional and understands the needs of event organizers and guests. Her rate is very reasonable, especially for the high quality event she delivers. Besides having a fantastic voice and the ability to go from pop to big band to rock seamlessly, she is reliable and honest. She really makes an event come alive.

April 18, 2013I met Kayla (2012) on the job with "Current Affair", and was I ever in for a Pleasant Surprise!!! Kayla is a very strong, dependable vocalist; she's just as fresh at the end of the night as she was at the beginning of the night ... she loses nothing (diction, pitch, range), and she's a pleasure to watch while performing! A beautiful young sister Kayla Scott!!!

Kayla Scott is a singer born and raised in New York City.
When Kayla was only two years old, she heard Mariah Carey sing 'Vision of Love' on VH1 and the rest is history.
A product of a family of entertainers, she grew up completely surrounded by industry professionals who made sure to guide her in the right direction. Almost right away, she discovered a love of singing, acting and dancing and wanted to perform wherever and whenever she could. She spent over ten years studying and performing ballet, jazz and modern dance through private instruction and becoming a student of the famed Broadway Dance Center. She had the honor of being part of the ABA Junior Ballet performing at Lincoln Center. Meanwhile, she also focused on her acting training and studied improvisation, comedy and classical theater. She took classes at the Lee Strassberg Theater Institute, and was a part of several regional, touring company & community theater productions.
Though she continues to love acting and dance, nothing could compare to her love of singing. At age 9, she began private voice lessons after already singing at every opportunity that had arisen. She has studied with some of the best teachers in the world - notably Junior Mance, Amy London, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Samuel McKelton, Kate Kelly, Joan Styles, Jackie Presti and Norma Garbo. She has been involved with such groups as the Queens Oratorio Society, The Treble Singers, NY Singers Forum, and various choirs. She began her Undergraduate Studies at the New School Universitys' Jazz and Contemporary Music program in January 2006.
Kayla began performing with wedding bands/dance bands professionally in her late teens. She has spent the last 10 years cultivating her craft - always striving to stay on top of all current music, trends and technique. She freelances as a lead vocalist with several top bands/orchestras throughout the Tri-State area. She has performed at hundreds of venues all over the country and at the parties/events held by some of the biggest celebrities in the world including Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani, Martin Scorcese, David Letterman,
Being a strong session vocalist is something vital to any singer who wants to stay busy. For the last 12 years, Kayla has lent her voice to several jingles (BoardReview, Listen Up!), commercial and radio spots (ESPN, SportsCenter, MIXX) as well as on submission demos (reference vocals) for songwriters trying to sell their pieces to record labels. She has become known for her attention to detail and quick delivery/turnaround time in the studio.
Kayla is also private vocal coach. She teaches singing in both midtown Manhattan and Astoria, Queens to students of all styles and ages.
Her personal musical influences include singers spanning all genres. From pop divas like Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera, Whitney Houston and Kelly Clarkson... to jazz/big-band greats such as Ella Fitzgerald, Tony Bennett, Nancy Wilson, Natalie Cole and Billie Holiday... to Broadway legends Bernadette Peters, Kristen Chenowith or Nathan Lane... and soulful performers like Aretha Franklin and Stevie Wonder.
She is a powerhouse vocalist with irresistible artistry and distinct style who compels her audiences to keep listening.
