By ten, she was fronting her own band, entertaining crowds at parades, private events, fairs, and festivals across the region.

Her dedication to her craft took her overseas in 2004, when she trained at the Bocelli School of Music in Italy and later represented the United States in Romania at the Golden Star Children’s International Talent Festival, where she placed second in the world.

By fifteen, Kayla was writing her own music and released her first album, I’m Movin’ On, which featured four original songs. In 2012, she moved to Nashville to attend Belmont University and fully commit to her music career. The following years brought major milestones, including performances on the Hard Rock Stage at CMA Fest, regular shows along Nashville’s famed Broadway, and the release of her debut single, “Fan for the Flame,” to country radio.

In 2016, Kayla released her self-titled Kayla Woodson EP, a five-song collection written or co-written by her that showcased her blend of vulnerability, confidence, and emotional honesty. In 2017, she gained national exposure as a contestant on Season 14 of NBC’s The Voice, after which she continued releasing new music and steadily building her career as an independent artist.

Today, Kayla continues to perform across the region, appearing at fairs, festivals, and venues. She has shared the stage with artists such as Lady A and most recently performed at Bridgestone Arena in tribute to Trisha Yearwood—a career highlight that further cemented her reputation as a commanding and memorable live performer.
