ABOUT KAYLAN LOYD
Born on July 1, 1992, in Nashville, Tennessee, Kaylan Loyd is an American singer-songwriter who writes and records her own music as well as performs on Broadway in Nashville full-time.
In 2008, Kaylan decided to audition for Season 8 of ‘American Idol’ in Louisville, Kentucky, where she landed one of only 20 golden Hollywood tickets out of over 10,000 who had tried out there. She was later dubbed on the show as “one of the judges’ Louisville favorites”. Her audition of “Movin’ On Up”, which is the theme song from the sitcom “The Jeffersons”, was chosen to play as a special treat for the television audience during the ‘Top 12’ show. She valiantly sailed all the way through to the final round in Hollywood, to the group of the top fifty-one to seventy-five, with fierce determination, albeit sore from staples just being removed from an emergency appendectomy that unfortunately occurred just days before the Hollywood rounds would begin, and even as a group performance complete with Jackson 5 dance steps (ouch!) was required of her on the show. She also had the extreme honor of singing the National Anthem at the Nashville Sounds Baseball games on several occasions. At nineteen, she performed a song called “Not All Heroes (Wear A Cape)” on Nashville Fox Network’s “Tennessee Mornings”, as a tribute to Father’s Day.

Not only is Kaylan Loyd a singer’s singer, but she is a great songwriter as well and has performed some of her self-penned songs at Frank Brown’s International Songwriters Festival, the Pensacola Beach Songwriters Festival, Jim Parker’s Songwriter Series in Huntsville, Alabama, and numerous Nashville songwriter venues including the famous Bluebird Cafe, Douglas Corner Café, The Listening Room, The Basement, and The Tin Roof.

Most recently, Kaylan co-headlined with Daryl Worley and Mark Cooke in Ohio at Kenton Outdoors “Knights of Nashville”, as well as headlined another show with American Idol’s Kendall Phillips in Sunbury, Pennsylvania, where each was presented with their own key to the city.

Kaylan is currently writing and recording her upcoming CD with songs that are sure to put her at the top of the music charts in multiple genres, produced by her dad, Gary Loyd. She is affiliated with SESAC as a songwriter and continues to pursue her love of music every day.
