Spotlight Young Artists: Kiana Mayes
Monday, October 26, 2009 - 8 PM
Adults $10, Students $5
(available at door)
Ruby’s @ the Lab has joined forces with Pharaoh Productions to create a new program to showcase the work of some of the Twin Cities’ promising young musicians/performers. The Spotlight Series places local professionals in the music industry in mentoring positions with young artists to help them develop, produce, record and, ultimately, to perform their music in a professional theater setting. 
The series opens at the Lab Theater with Kiana Mayes, an aspiring R&B singer/songwriter. Kiana, who began singing at the age of three, started by showcasing her talent in the church choir, school choir and talent shows. In January 2007, she won the Christian Amateur Vocal Soloist Talent Contest at Jesus is Lord Church. June 2009 Kiana began taking vocal lessons at MacPhail School of Music with jazz artist/teacher, Vicky Mountain. She has also taken voice lessons with Bruce Henry and is now working on her demo with Shaun Labelle.
Ruby’s will host this concert series on the third Monday of each month.
