MOTOWN's Mykal Kilgore Launches Kickstarter for Debut Solo Album

Singer-Actor Mykal Kilgore, who has appeared on Broadway in MOTOWN and HAIR, as well as the national tour of THE BOOK OF MORMON, has launched a Kickstarter (#KickstartKilgore) to raise money for his solo debut album.

Recently, Mykal was seen wowing audiences in Australia and Asia with Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox. His videos with the band "My Heart Will Go On" and "Greatest Love of All" have both reached well over a million hits. Watch him perform "My Heart Will Go On" below!

Kilgore has described the yet-to-be-named project as "classic roots music with a modern feel." For more information on Mykal, visit www.mykalkilgore.com.

The actor's other theatre credits include FRECKLEFACE STRAWBERRY (Off-Broadway) and the World Premiere of MARLEY. He has performed to sold-out audiences at Joe's Pub, Roseland Ballroom, Birdland, The Laurie Beechman Theatre, The Kennedy Center, and in his own cabaret "MYKAL @ 54Below." You can also hear him on the album's "#LoVE" by Lyons and Pakchar, "Living in A Dark World" by Slow Knights, Scott Alan's "LIVE" and on "Make Me Believe in Hope" by Bright Light Bright Light!

A classical music graduate from Florida State University, Kilgore can go from singing a Broadway show tune to Soul and Jazz scatting all with Gospel undertones in one song. His multi-faceted and multi-octave tenor can easily slide up to a crystal clear Soprano a feat unmatched by even today's most popular male vocalist. Mykal's sound is a gumbo of American roots music and modern feels, with soul songs that talk about love, what's happening in the world and more.
