Kyle McKearney is a seasoned musician and songwriter who grew up in a small village in northern British Columbia, Canada, surrounded by family and their love of country and bluegrass music. Kyle had the opportunity to travel to Nashville, Tennessee, after high school, where he spent his days immersed in learning how to write traditional Country and Rockabilly tunes.
He subsequently returned to Canada and established himself in Calgary, Alberta, where he and his brother Shade formed a band. Kyle then really got down to business, honing his skills in singing, songwriting, and all parts of recording, touring, and performance, which has now turned into a full-time job.
Kyle has worked on a few noteworthy projects over the years, including co-writing a song with Roger Taylor of the legendary band QUEEN, touring the country with Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys, and earning three Top 20 CHR/Top 40 hit songs on Canadian commercial radio. He has also had songs play in the Top 30 on Pop/Hot AC radio, the Top 30 on Active Rock radio, and has been nominated for a Canadian Radio Music Award in 2017.
This is his new single, called Rebel Child. I really like the production and I think the song is very enjoyable from start to finish, thanks to a contagious mood (check out the chorus!), a brilliant arrangement and a great performance (I love the backing vocals during the chorus and the solo, in the second part of the song). This is a very cool song, if you like the genre, you will love it. Give it a go by clicking on the Spotify player below and don't forget to follow Kyle McKearney on social media as well.
