Biography

Kaye Cross
Singer / Songwriter

BIO

Kaye Cross was born in Riverside, California, in the small orange growing community of Highgrove where in the spring all the trees would bloom and the air would fill with the aroma of orange blossoms. By early summer the blooms had fallen and the sweet smell of orange blossom would give way to the sweet stink of manure which seems to parallel her life a bit. You see, she was born into a good solid home but was born with an incurable eye disorder that left her partially sighted, (legally blind).

Some of her musical influences started early on when her father, singer / songwriter / musician, would have the boys over and jam the blues. Some other influences would be Bonnie Raitt, The Eagles, Sheryl Crow, Sarah McLachlan, Rob Thomas, and John Mayer.

In 1991 Kaye began expressing herself through poetry and then had the idea, "hey, maybe I should put music to the words"! Her father gave her his old Kay guitar and within six months she was performing some of her songs at church on Sunday.
Kaye's music is a reflection of her triumphs in life's never ending effort to kick you when you're down. She knows life may not be fair, but "life is what you make it".
Haunting melodies, brassy / blue'zy voice and enthusiastic passion for life, love, and faith, saturate her music, encouraging the human spirit to overcome.
