About Caylea

Caylea has breathed music practically since birth and grew up all over the world as a military kid. It all started with piano lessons from her mom, beginning in toddlerhood and continuing through high school. At age 14, she won an Air Force-wide songwriting competition, winning first prize and building a home studio. She then began teaching herself music production throughout high school, releasing an EP, which she wrote, produced and mixed herself. That EP landed her a spot in Belmont University’s industry-renowned songwriting program, which took her to Nashville and LA. She has since steadily pursued excellence and cultivated her craft in songwriting, vocal expertise and music production.

Caylea’s artistry is a unique blend of R&B-Pop with lyrics that attend to deep matters in her personal life, with strong ties to her Christian faith. Her production style threads together heartfelt acoustic elements with traces of neo-soul and contemporary R&B. In the fall of 2021, she signed to Lula Street Records, owned by friend and music industry veteran, Wisdom Moon. She has spent the past few years traveling with her military husband, who she met in Germany in high school, while continuing to write and produce from her home studio. Caylea’s past music releases consist of two earlier EPs and several singles, and she is now focused on her upcoming releases for early 2022.

The soulfulness and message of the song “Suitcases” from Dara Maclean’s album You Got My Attention are definitely soothing and relatable. You can download the song on iTunes by clicking here.

How can you move when they’re weighing you down
What can you do when you’re tied to the ground, yeah
You carry your burdens, heavy like gravity
Just let them go now, there’s freedom in release

You can’t run when you’re holding suitcases
It’s a new day throw away your mistakes and open up your heart
Lay down your guard, you don’t have to be afraid
– Lyrics from Suitcases
