The Newcastle youngster one of 22 to attend this year’s prestigious college of music in Tamworth wanted to develop her songwriting and pick up some stage performance tips.

Rising star Kaylah Anne is building a strong reputation around the Newcastle and Hunter Valley area. A regular performer at many venues like Hexham Bowling Club, Kaylah has had
outstanding success in the past 12 month with numerous talent quest wins, and in January 2008 graduated from the Australian College of Country Music.

Her original songs have already been played on Newcastle’s 105.3 NEW FM, 100.9 Port Stephens FM, Tamworth’s’ 100.5 FM and 2TM, but now Kaylah Anne is making another step up the ladder.

Her forthcoming EP has been produced by the award-winning Rod McCormack and the first single, written by Kaylah Anne, is a great introduction for Australia to this talented singer/songwriter. Pure country vocals and a strong hooky song make for an excellent entrée to the EP.
