April Kry's music career began when she was a little girl in church, and at the age of 13 she performed “God Bless America” at a gala event where the keynote speaker was legendary Jermaine Jackson. It was then April decided upon her career goal: to be a professional singer. Since then, April has performed at the legendary Apollo Theater’s Amateur Night, and appeared on national television as a background vocalist for new age singer Enya on Live With Regis & Kelly. Within the years, April has learned to play guitar and has discovered a new-found passion for songwriting. April says her songwriting inspiration comes from things that happen in everyday life. The struggles and heartbreak people go through are two things she loves to write about, because everyone relate to those feelings. She also says Miranda Lambert, Hunter Hayes and Carrie Underwood are her musical influences because they are strong performers. For April's first EP, Music Speaks, was recorded on none other Nashville, Tennessee where she immediately felt at home. After the release of her EP, April received praise from Love Games on Oxygen and MTV’s The Real World. She has also had a musical partnership with Javier Colon, who was the winner of the first seasons of NBC's The Voice. Her latest single "Fireflies" was written by Jennifer Pappas, JP Rende and Kathryn Raio. April says this about the single, “It’s a song that describes the feelings of falling in love for the first time, a song about being young, carefree and the ability to completely lose yourself in another person. It’s a time in your life that you will never forget, and something that we can all relate to” (from AprilKry.com) The imagery and romance of the lyrics us back in time to that place where we first found love. She says, “The reason I love music is that it brings people together. I truly believe that the lyric is the heart of a song, and without substance, you won’t make a lasting impression. It doesn’t matter where you’re from or what language you speak, music is a universal language and if I can touch just one person with a melody or a lyric of mine, I’ve done my job as an artist.” (from AprilKry.com) See April at CMA Music Fest, The Stomp - Soulshine, Hard Rock Cafe, and more!
