Story of a #GirlOnTheGo

Singing to the beat of her own musical journey, Kyleen is a singer and actor with a distinctive style. Her effervescence filters into a sound blending vibrant energy with soulful vocals. While raised by a mostly non-musical family in New Jersey, she quickly became accustomed to standing out in her surroundings—the girl with the big voice was a nickname she got used to. She believes her beloved gift was passed down to her from her distant cousin and late jazz legend, Sarah Vaughan.

A graduate of Temple University, an energetic performer, a former employee of the legendary Philadelphia International Records (Gamble & Huff) and a freelance marketer—Kyleen has had her hands in a little bit of everything. A real #GirlOnTheGo.

Kyleen has gained a respectable reputation as an entertainer and has made appearances in a number of theater productions: PROUD: A Cabaret in Color (Creator, Storyteller), Passing Strange (Sherry/Renata/Desi), Ragtime (Sarah’s Friend) Sister Act (Deloris), Children of Eden (Eve, Mama Noah), Lizzie (Bridget Sullivan) and HAIR (Dionne) to name a few. In addition to theater, Kyleen has also rocked several stages including WAWA Welcome America, Warmdaddy’s and Long’s Park Amphitheater, and has also booked roles in film/tv projects including Dispatches from Elsewhere and Mare of Easttown.

Her performances have even garnered attention from media outlets such as The Philadelphia Tribune where she was recognized as a “2014 Women Achieving” honoree. She was also nominated for a 2016 BroadwayWorld Delaware Award for Best Actress in a Professional Musical for her role in HAIR.

Kyleen remains true to her passion of bringing art, joy and truth to life, and continues to use her talents to spread love, laughter and light. 

 

“…the immensely talented Kyleen Shaw whose strength comes through in both her singing and acting.”
