The Voice returns to NBC on Monday, Sept. 20. Here’s more about Keilah.
* She’s 15-year-old singer-songwriter and actress Keilah Grace Wolk, based in New York.
* In spite of her young age, she released a debut EP called “15” as Keilah Grace in May. And it’s an impressive project. I’ve embedded “Greener Grass,” my favorite track, below. But “Fire First” is excellent too.
* Keilah told Voice Views she wrote all three songs on the EP. She says she started writing songs at age 8 and already has many completed songs in my catalog.
* As for her sound, she told Voice Views: “I would say that my music falls into the category of singer/songwriter pop, but I also feel like music is becoming more and more genre-less these days, and I enjoy exploring different ways to express myself as an artist.”
* In spite of her young age, the EP wasn’t even Keilah’s first release. In 2019, she was featured on “Somehow,” a dance single from Eztioko. And she collaborated with Catherine Dimeglio and Maddie Lynn on a version of “Silent Night” that appeared on An Emerging Talent Holiday album.
* On YouTube, Keilah writes: “Been singing since I could talk, and now I can’t stop. Half Filipina, half European, 100% singer-songwriter.”
* On Soundcloud, she adds: “I started writing and teaching myself how to play instruments at the age of eight. Since then, everything I come across becomes a new song.”
* In addition to singing, Keilah plays guitar, piano and ukulele.
* And you’ll find some of Keilah’s unreleased original songs on that Soundcloud page.
* Her musical inspiration is Tori Kelly, who at one point signed Keilah’s guitar.
* The acting part of her bio is more than wishful thinking. In addition to being involved in a couple of theatrical productions and appearing in a couple of commercials, Keilah appeared in a spring episode of “FBI: Most Wanted” on CBS.
* Wrote Keilah of that experience on Instagram: “I had so much fun on set. The cast and crew were all so sweet, and it would be an honor to work with any one of them again!”
