FM Odyssey Interview
Here
To write poetry is a calling.
To write really moving poetry is a gift.
To make this poetry come alive with music
is nothing short of magic.
Kaydi Johnson manifests this magic in her work.
She rolls forceful and racy lyrics
into short stories and cinematic slices of life.
Poetic rockets that launch her listeners
into musical space.
Her lyrics and music find new ways
to explore such themes as living,
loving and love lost.
Whether it's the moon--or undressing--she's singing about,
Kaydi's songs stay with you
long after they have ended.
Haunting and joyous. Provocative and poetic.
Magnetic and musically delicious word plays
that always charm the ears, hearts and minds
of her listeners.
