Kayla Stockert is a singer, songwriter and performer whose known for her Retro/Soul vocals. She has a unique back story of singing 50’s music as a little girl. With her being one of the only young females at the time to take an interest in that music, it gave her a life changing beginning to her professional career that allowed her to create a niche for herself in the music industry. She went on multiple singing tours around the United States alongside some of the original famous Doo-Wop groups. She got to experience the tail end of a music generation that can never be replicated. It has influenced her “raw” performance/musical style.
At just 15 years old , she competed on “X-factor”. Over time, she was able to perform at many infamous venues including the Jones Beach Theatre, The Friar’s Club and The Highline Ballroom. Some of her original music landed her film/commercial/radio placements. This allowed her to pursue her passion of music full time in New York City during her young adulthood.
Now, she still continues performing locally around Long Island. This will be her 13th year returning to The Montauk Music Festival. She also works in Montauk during the summer season at a popular restaurant.
This year she will be performing with her younger brother Brandon Stockert and family friends Nick Marino and Justin Scheidling.
