B.J. appeared on the Grand Ol’ Opry with Nashville recording artist David Lee Murphy. Comfortable with music of many genres, B.J. performed on stage for the first time at the age of seven. A year later, he became the full time keyboardist for an adult country band. While still a young boy, B.J. performed four seasons in Branson, Missouri. In Branson, he filled a variety of roles including vocalist, instrumentalist, and music director. After four seasons in Branson, he returned to his home in Magnolia, Arkansas to complete his high school education and prepare for college. B.J. holds a Bachelor of Arts in Music from Ouachita Baptist University in Arkadelphia, Arkansas, the alma mater of the ladies of “Point of Grace” and former presidential candidate, Mike Huckabee. While at OBU, B.J. sang with the university’s award-winning Concert Choir. He performed as pianist for the Ouachita Jazz Band, and was selected for two auditioned groups, the Ouachita Singers and the Ouachita Sounds. These elite ensembles serve as ambassadors for the university, and afforded B.J. the opportunity to tour and perform in the United States, Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, and China, and on a cruise ship bound for the Bahamas. B.J. is an accomplished vocalist, with a wide range from low bass to high tenor. In an event sponsored by the National Association of Teachers of Singing, professors from major universities across the United States selected B.J. as first place male vocalist for his performance of an aria from an Italian opera. Not bad for a country boy! B.J. was named the winner of an international piano competition with an original arrangement of the hymn “Great is Thy Faithfulness”. While still a student at OBU, B.J. recorded four songs in Nashville, two of which were released on a Midland Records radio sampler. The songs, “Get up Dow Jones”, and “Put Your Head On My Shoulder”, made play lists of independent country stations in the eastern U.S. and in Europe. After graduation, B.J. returned to Branson, Missouri in 2004 to perform as a member of the Shoji Tabuchi Show--a multi million dollar Vegas-style production. Later that year, he relocated to the Nashville area to fully pursue his musical career. Since childhood, B.J. has expressed his love of God through music. From time-honored hymns of faith to contemporary praise and worship favorites, B.J. plays and sings melodies of worship that touch the heart and soul. Over the years, he has served in almost every role imaginable in church music. B.J. has enjoyed the unique opportunity to perform at “Cowboy Church” locations in Hot Springs, Arkansas; Branson, Missouri; and Nashville, Tennessee. In addition to his vocal talents, B.J. is accomplished in electric/acoustic guitar, 5-string banjo, bass guitar, upright bass, B3 organ, piano, and keyboards. Take note of this, you shouldn’t form your final opinion of the depth of his musical gift until you hear and see what the man can do with keys! B.J. has studio experience, including work on tracks for a television pilot. His talent in composition enables him to write music for original lyrics. He is skilled in preparing detailed charts, making projects easier for other band members. To sum it up, B.J. Kyle is a professional musician in every sense of the word—qualified on the basis of undeniable talent, education, experience, and dynamic stage presence. B.J. and his wife, Katie, make their home in Watertown, Tennessee.
