KAYSLEE DON COLLINS Originally from San Diego, Kayslee's initial venture to Los Angeles included modeling and acting, landing campaigns for Skims, Ellen Von Unwerth, Playboy, and appeared in many commercials throughout the years.

With music always being the focal point of her dreams, Kayslee began to pursue the art with a steady focus in 2018. Honing in on a sound that is timeless yet uniquely her own, Kayslee began collaborating with writers and producers, including Joe Keefe of Family of the Year - who produced and co-wrote her debut EP, Selfish Baby (released in 2019). Additionally, Tyler Blake, one half of the electronic duo Classixx, got his hands on the single "Sixteen" for a remix. It was the debut release for his solo project, oceans1985, and was featured on the viral hit Netflix series, Never Have I Ever.

Kayslee’s latest venture is a collaboration with Producer Ian Walsh (Pulse Recording - phem, Grayscale, Smallpools, NEFFEX, Upsahl) and writer Sophie Hintze (BMG - JORDY, Minke, Kah-Lo).

Kayslee also set her sights even higher with songwriting credits on the soundtrack for new buzzworthy miniseries, Daisy Jones & the Six, alongside tenured songwriters Marcus Mumford, Phoebe Bridgers, Jackson Browne, Cass McCombs, Ali Tamposi, Taylor Goldsmith, and others. Pitchfork labels Collins’, The River, “A propulsive, full-bodied production, it deploys an unabashed melody and succinct metaphors, relishing a moody post-chorus and roomy instrumental breaks.” Less than a month after its release, the album landed a no. 1 spot on Billboard’s Soundtracks chart and no. 10 on Top Album Sales.
