Kyrsta McKade is an International Business student at Belmont University, writing music, and recently published her first single and video for What Mama Don’t Know.
Kyrsta and her mom (Deborah) have a close relationship which inspired Kyrsta to write What Mama Don't Know in homage to her mom visualizing her mom in the video. What Mama Don't Know has a fun, rebellious flair that she thought her mom would also enjoy.
"what Momma don't know
ain't gonna kill her
sneakin' out the back door, I'll be back before the truth has even hit her
momma's little girl
makin' up her own rules
what momma don't know won't kill her so...
boy put on your dancin' shoes"
What Mama Don’t Know was written in collaboration with Kyrsta McKade's producer, Will Rambeaux, and Sherrie Austin who have mentored Kyrsta in the business side of music through their artist development company, helping her with many facets including managing social media. Will Rambeaux and Sherrie Austin are known for writing hit songs for many top performers, including Tim McGraw and George Strait. The video was filmed at the Nashville Palace and directed by Stormlight Pictures' Logen Christopher.
Kyrsta McKade has performed on every stage that provided a microphone since she was 8 years old, giving her the experience to shape her stage presence into a vibrant performance.
Kyrsta McKade has a few more songs waiting to be released, ready to "throw them at the wall to see what sticks."
Congratulations Kyrsta on your first release! I am excited to watch your journey.
