Eulis Kay

Singer/Songwriter/Teacher/Yogi
“I think of myself as a musician, first and foremost. The music is most important and always has been. It’s been a constant companion, a friend throughout the years; never abandoning, never faltering, ever bending and yet never breaking.”

“I have always had a passion for creating, interpreting, and inspiring. These gifts – and I believe they truly are gifts with which I have been endowed – help me to be a sensitive and versatile musician, and to share my personality through the music.”

“As a teacher, I hold the unshakeable belief that every person can learn to be better at any stage of life; myself included. Talent is often overrated, and that can make people think that they don’t have a chance to be great. I feel that my role is to gently guide each student in a way that will help them (re)discover their own gifts. Often, the only thing that holds us back from being the very best version of ourselves is us. We can’t seem to find the strength or the vision to see past our own negative self-talk, or the discouraging words that we’ve carried around with us, and that traps us in a steep-sided rut. But I have seen and experienced first-hand that if you work hard (and long) enough, you can achieve even the loftiest of goals.”

Born in Los Angeles, California, Eulis Kay has been involved with music since age 10. The clarinet started him on a journey through several styles and genres from classical to jazz, klezmer to fusion. The love of melody soon fostered an interest in the tonal colors and versatility of the human voice, and High School saw Eulis embrace both instrumental and vocal music. After majoring in Clarinet Performance for 2 years at the California State University of Los Angeles, the urge for singing took over and Eulis switched his focus to vocal performance. This opened up a whole new world of performance opportunities including operas (The Medium, Hansel und Gretel), musicals (Little Shop of Horrors, The Fantasticks), choral groups (Five of Five a cappella, The Pacific Chorale) and stage shows (Disneyland Resort, Tokyo Disney Resort, Disneyland Paris).

Today Eulis spends his time at the top of a little house built of wood, in a little studio built on dreams, making music, sharing stories, and imparting lessons built of decades, all while watching the light dance through the greenery.
