"I  find a sense of purpose sitting still with a guitar and a notepad and writing songs that I feel guided to write in that moment.  This four song project is the result of that exact process. Recording the songs and completing the project was the ultimate goal and reward. 

Beyond that, my hope is that anyone at any age will do something for themselves that reaches their own personal goal.  As an individual, you will know when the time is right for you and when that happens, I wish inspired  energy, quality resources and much support from those around each one of you!"

L K Pryor's  KY roots and touring background from the East Coast to the West Coast eventually brought her to Nashville's "Third Coast" as a place to call home with her husband, Wesley Pryor.  

Known as "Kaye" to family and friends, her music development actually began as a child performing classical piano music. She also  grew up influenced by Rock-n-Roll and Motown music. Throughout those years and beyond, everything revolved around music education, writing and performance. 

Soon after college, Pryor and her husband hit the road with  a KY based band playing gigs at the legendary Troubadour in West Hollywood and other clubs across the country. They also performed in a Broadway show that toured Las Vegas and  New York's Beacon Theater, plus venues across the U.S., Canada and Europe.

Kaye's songwriting skills got stronger while working with Nashville songwriters and hanging out at venues like the Bluebird Cafe, plus attending various songwriting workshops.

In addition to working with Nashville songwriters, Pryor's songwriting experience also included working on lyrics for an R & B project with the Memphis All-Stars. She affectionately became known as "The Word Lady", sharing a No. 1 regional song status and winning awards with the song, "Lovin' My Baby."

Kaye has also worked on projects that include a ten song tribute to "Women of the Smokies" with co-writer, Carol Zamora Ward to support a companion book , "Women of the Smokies: No Place for the Weary Kind" released by Courtney Lix. 

Pryor's most recent collaboration is the release of  her original EP "COLD HARD TRUTH", with her husband and drummer, Wesley Pryor.

"Everyone involved with this project gave amazing energy and talent to it and that inspired me to push myself and not hold back on the lead vocals.  Writing and recording these songs represents a dream fulfilled and the final result is beyond my expectations. Wesley and the team he put together helped make  it  happen and  I am truly grateful."
