“From one song to the next, it becomes pretty obvious that Armstrong was influenced by singers like Sam Cooke, who were not afraid to inject some meaningful messages into their soulful tunes,” raves AMERICANA HIGHWAYS. “‘Listen’ highlights Kyshona’s descriptive songwriting and soulful vocals alongside a versatile blend of folk, rock and R&B influences,” states BILLBOARD (2020 Album Review of ‘Listen’).
Acclaimed Singer & Songwriter KYSHONA is an artist ignited by untold stories, and the capacity of those stories to thread connection in every community. With the background of a licensed music therapist, the curiosity of a writer, and the voice of a singer...Kyshona is unrelenting in her pursuit for the healing power of song. Kyshona blends Roots, Rock, R&B, and Folk with lyrical prowess. She is both a sought after collaborative vocalist working with artists like Margo Price whom she accompanied on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Adia Victoria who features Kyshona, Price and Jason Isbell in her single "You Was Born To Die", and a burgeoning performer in her own right with the acclaimed 2020 album 'Listen'. "With a voice that hovers between Joan Armatrading and Ruthie Foster with the sensibilities of Mavis Staples embedded in her lyrics, Armstrong's gospel/soul/rock/folk blend is on display in 2014's Go, 2016's Ride, and now her latest, Listen," says NO DEPRESSION.
