The newest songstress making waves is ready to shed light on her powerful voice, her sexy singing style, modest disposition, and the revival of true, soul driven R&B singing. With a commanding voice to make her heard, Kortney "Kaycee" Leveringston is ready to make 2007 her debut year.
Kaycee was born and raised in Kansas City and hit one of the biggest accomplishments of her musical career in 2004 after linking with super producer Adonis and recording the smash hit "My Boo (Pt. 1) with Grammy award winning R&B artist USHER. Unfortunately, the song was also rerecorded and ultimately released with Alicia Keys singing the refrain, and once Pt.1 was leaked on the internet, the acclaim was attributed to none other than Beyonce. Little did the public know that the real voice belonged to none other than the young Kaycee. The mishap spawned the often noted comparison between Kaycee's sultry powerhouse voice with that of none other than the diva herself, Beyonce.
Now older and wiser, Kaycee is ready to show the world that struggles only make you stronger and practice brings you closer to perfection.
Kaycee spent her childhood surrounded by generations of strong females-- her grandmother, mother, and three sisters. Her mother and aunt worked as traveling performers, and it wasn't long before Kaycee could no longer resist the lure of the stage. At a mere five years old, she was already attached to the mic, belting from it Whitney Houston's hit song, "I Will Always Love You". Her family couldn't deny the mighty sound coming from their little girl, and from then on it was talent shows and showcases anywhere and everywhere. Support and encouragement took her far, but the troubles of adolescence lingered not far behind. Jealousy from classmates forced her into home schooling for two years of high school, and an unexpected thyroid condition threatened to shatter her confidence. Kaycee's passion for singing and love for performing kept her from losing sight of her dream and brought her to new horizons as an artist.
Although she loves to record, Kaycee has found her niche in the addictive performance and has taken on a fresh strategy with the addition of her choreographer and sister, Andrea. Having opened for chart-topping artists such as Ja Rule, Jo-Jo, and Ciara, Kaycee's demo fell into many important hands in 2005, including producers The Insomniacs and her current manager JP aka "Mr. Get It Done". Together they are building a reputation for Kaycee as they brace to take the R&B world by storm.
