Share Your Gift With the World

“Growing up and seeing my mother sing in the gospel circuit created in me this drive to want to do something. I never forget she [once] took me by a church cemetery and she said, ‘There’s people in here who could sing like Whitney [Houston]…who could sing like [the] amazing artists of the world, but they chose to stay here. She said ‘Take the opportunity and go and do whatever you need to do and go out into the world and share your gift with the world.’ And so I always try to do that in any way, shape or form.”

- Kyng Bea

This week we published a new installment of Music at the Mansion which featuring singer-songwriter Charly Lowry performing with a team of talented North Carolina musicians including pianist and pop artist Kyng Bea (Brandon McClean).

Born and raised in Raeford, North Carolina, Kyng Bea’s first exposure to music came through his mother, a popular gospel singer who taught him the basics of piano. Last year the vocal and musical talents of Kyng Bea and his fellow Music at the Mansion performer Alexis Raeana awarded them a trip to Los Angeles to audition for a spot on American Idol.

First trained as a pianist, in recent years Kyng Bea has focused on highlighting his vocal abilities which are apparent in the latest Music at the Mansion.
Take a listen to Kyng Bea’s solo work below.
