April Kry

April Kry began her musical journey in Hartford, Connecticut, where she grew up singing in her father’s church. Moving frequently as a child, music provided her with an outlet. At approximately five years old, she started her vocal practice, eventually turning to songwriting in her teenage years to express emotions she felt others struggled to vocalize. She made frequent trips to New York City for performances in nightclubs while supporting herself through nannying, laying the groundwork for her career in music. Her early influences included artists such as Taylor Swift, Colbie Caillat, and Billie Holiday.

Her debut EP, “Music Speaks,” released in 2012, showcased a blend of soul, jazz, and pop, featuring both ballads and uplifting anthems. During this period, Kry, at 22 years old, performed alongside acclaimed artists like the late Donna Summer and Jermaine Jackson. In the studio, she worked with Javier Colon, winner of TV’s “The Voice,” and producer Tom Jackson, known for his work with Taylor Swift and Jordin Sparks. These collaborations marked significant milestones in her professional development and expanded her network within the music industry. She divided her time between Nashville and New York City while pursuing these opportunities.

After high school, April Kry relocated to Nashville to focus on her music career. She developed her songwriting skills through collaborations with writers such as Stephanie Bentley and Blair Daly. Her first single, “Fireflies,” reached the Top 30 on The Highway and trended at #1 on Radio Disney. Her song “I Feel At Home,” co-written with Blair Daly, has accumulated over 4 million streams on Spotify. After signing with an independent record label, she released additional music and performed at events like CMA Fest. She later released the concept album “Krysalis,” which explores themes of personal growth and empowerment, further showcasing her evolution as an independent artist and individual, particularly as she balanced her career with motherhood.
