Kyle Megginson

Born into a musically inspired family, it wasn’t until the age of 17 that Kyle Megginson picked up the guitar to find that music gave him the most natural way to express himself. As Kyle describes his encounter with music, he shares that “The sound of the strings became my release, my outlet from a life torn between love, faith and questions. I poured myself into it and haven’t looked back.” With his smooth, engaging voice and acoustic guitar in hand, this talented singer/songwriter from Wilmington, Delaware is creating music with raw emotion that has been best described as personal, rhythmic, thought-provoking, and most of all, passionate.

With an innate gift for writing songs that are relatable, this up and coming performer has been able to strike a chord with his audience, leaving many with a hunger for more meaning in life. Kyle describes his lyrics as coming from “a very intimate place”, drawing his audience in through songs that encompass ideas, stories and questions. From the simplest thoughts of strolling the streets to the intense inner battles of trying to understand the purpose of life, Kyle’s writing carries a range of depth, experiences and stories that speak to all generations.

Reflecting a diverse array of musical influences like Jack Johnson, Dave Mathews, Dashboard Confessional and Eric Clapton, this twenty-seven year old artist has been able to capture an organic and authentic style all his own. With his style crossing genre borders between acoustic rock, pop and folk, Kyle dares to bridge these styles in many of his songs.

With the recent release of Kyle's debut EP, Bliss and Ignorance, he tackles themes of life, love and spirtual discovery. In his contagious song, "Three Cheers", Kyle was inspired to look at our culture's obsessive fascination with image and pop culture as reflected in the song's chorus: "So lift up your glass and toast to bliss and ignorance/three cheers to people who don't even care to think about the mess we're in/'Cuz all we need to focus is on image and how to look our best."

Reliving the electric emotions and memories of being in love are seen on such rock driven songs as "Coastal Winds" and "February's Best". Kyle is able to capture how time and location are fused with our emotions of being in love. Megginson also develops songs with a more intimate, spiritual focus as with his powerful acoustic song, "Beautiful Morning". These lyrics reminds us that there is hope beyond the trials of life: "It's a beautiful morning/sunny days are on the way/if you could ever know how much I love you so/you would always see how beautiful you are to me."

With music that evokes a sense of journey, Kyle aims to connect with his listeners. “My music is my story. Whenever and wherever I play, the listener is always invited to share in the journey.”
