Kanisha K

The Holland, Michigan native has embraced hit music from the past as well as the current music scene, forging a combination that allows her creative style to shine.

With a recent cadre of success at radio , Kanisha K will debut her newest single "Oh Damn Yeah" to top 40 and CHR radio this March. The song was written and produced by uber Producer Joe Vulpis(Lady Gaga, Lindsay Lohan, Richie Blackmore, Jennifer Love Hewitt ect.) and mastered by Tom Coyne( Adele, Beyoncé, Sam Smith, Taylor Swift, Pink, Ariana Grande, One Direction.) Kanisha recorded both " Oh Damn Yeah" and "Never Stopped Loving You" at Vulpis' studios in Nashville.

Reflecting on the new songs Kanisha stated: " Working with Joe Vulpis and bringing his songs to life through the recording process was an enormous honor for me. I really fell in love with " Oh Damn Yeah" and "Never Stopped Loving You" and worked hard to preserve the integrity of both the music and the lyrics. I think we have some hits here." 2014 was a banner year for Kanisha, her single "Bring Me Home ." The track garnered strong airplay support, translating into chart success on the FMQB AC chart ( peaked at #3,) Mediabase AC Chart ( debuted at #29) and the Billboard Indicator chart where the song peaked at #22 . The song spent over 30 weeks on the FMQB charts and a remix version of the song will soon be delivered to radio.

In addition, Kanisha K recently won " Best Pop" award at the HMMA's ( Hollywood Music In Media Awards) this November for her song " I Gotta Stupid Boyfriend," an admirable feat for a young artist. These early triumphs are only the beginning for an artist with the drive and determination poised for long-term success.

But as every artist knows, every story has a beginning and Kanisha's begins at home. At a very young age, the singer was introduced to a wide array of music from her supportive parents. She credits Etta James, Alicia Keys and Aretha Franklin and lets be honest if you are going to have musical influences, its hard to argue with those.

From singing and playing piano at age four to joining band and playing the sax and guitar in sixth grade, Kanisha knew that vocal lessons would be the next step in her musical education. Beginning those lessons in eight grade she went on to join her High School choir the next year and also became involved in local community theater. Her participation in an award-winning choir ultimately took her into the studio with Robyn Robins from The Silver Bullet Band and eventually headed to Los Angeles where she recorded two songs at the legendary Capitol Records studio.

Well rounded and grounded, dedicated to making meaningful music and a never give up attitude translates to a future with endless possibilities for Kanisha K.
