Bio
At the age of 12, Kala thought it was time to grow up and put away childish things. She would lock herself in her room and read encyclopedias, different religions, self-help books and poems. So she began to write her own poems, songs and movies. It was her way to escape Life and a way to get over the death of her father and cousin in the same year. She wanted to speak out to the world and didn't know how!
As a kid, she was extremely shy. Yet, her mom got her out of that when she started putting her in talent shows, plays, church groups, organizations and things she couldn't pronounce. After being a runner-up in Hal Jackson Talented Teens in New Orleans, she was in many more pageants.
The older she got, the more she found herself loving her writings even more. One day after a class debate, an English teacher gave her incite. The name Rootsology was born to her because no matter where she went, people wanted to hear her speak in her smooth, mellow voice. "The class would actually pay attention to what she had to say," said the teacher.
She decided to put modeling on the backburner and try other things. She moved to Georgia, only to find herself with 3 guys Devon, Nebraska and Mike. "I'd never heard of spoken word with music on a CD before, but I wanted to try something different".
A band was born called A GROUP CALLED KARMA. They were rock, They were poetry, They were soul, They were jazz, They were ONE. Some called them Digable Planets and others called them Floetry. They could get into any studio and create a full CD of songs within 3 hours. That's including writing the poems out in a format and the band that played behind them was on point. That's how easy the flow was! But yet, they came together years after Digable Planets and years before Floetry. With 3 CD's, they got many great reviews not only from the masses but from several US Major Record Labels.
Now as she takes the world on her own without the guys, she is making waves and turning heads to her nice gentle voice and funky sounds that blast into your speakers. Guaranteed that once you hear the CD and the message that is delivered that you will be pleased!!
