TPS Director | Lead Voice Instructor | Performance Coach

Kait Kingston is a veteran of the Los Angeles Music Industry where she performed in several bands and worked as a session singer. *(vocal recordings of Kait can be heard on kaitkingston.com). Kait headlined her own blues band, and sang lead with John Lee Hooker Jr. as a featured vocalist on his western tour of the U.S. She was also the lead singer and co-songwriter for the band Light Vizion and co-produced the band's debut album "Looking For An Angel" and can be heard as the solo vocalist on the album "True North" by Tristan Moore. She is currently a freelance vocalist in Salt Lake City, Utah. She has sung lead and solo in a large variety of venues, including Capitol Theatre, Abravanel Hall, Rose Wagner (Jeanne Wagner Stage) and several local clubs and restaurants as well as festivals and outdoor concerts including the annual Scarecrow Festival and the Brown Bag Concert Series. While in Los Angeles, Kait performed in numerous clubs and blues music venues, including The Brown Derby, The Blue Café and BB Kings in Hollywood. Kait's own education includes a B.F.A. from the Actor Training Program at the University of Utah, an M.F.A. in Musical Theatre Performance from ​San Diego State University​ plus 5 years post-grad study in Los Angeles training in voice with world master voice teacher, Edward Sayegh. In 2004 Kait returned to her roots in Salt Lake City, UT to continue both her singing and teaching career. She continues to write, arrange and record as a freelance singer, and has appeared as the featured vocalist with groups like Children’s Dance Theatre and Ririe-Woodbury.

Kait: "My goal with each student is to help them to become the very best they can be as singing performers. But in addition, I aim to lift their spirit during the time they spend here, so that when they leave for the day, after the work they've done, they feel better, more inspired, more empowered and more confident and driven than they did when they arrived at my door. Teaching and watching my students evolve as both artists and people is thrilling! I have the honor of watching them find themselves through music while they build truly lifelong friendships with the performing peers they meet here...they end up finding some of their 'kindred spirits' in life here, and THAT is golden."

The Performer Studio's Student Advisory Board was first formed in 2013 when a few students proposed some ideas for future studio concerts. It became clear that TPS was moving in a new direction, one that went  beyond honoring student's ideas and rather calling them forth. Since it's inception, the SAB has chosen all subsequent Tribute Concert themes, including storylines, based on what was and is meaningful in today's ever-changing world.
