Local teen balances school and music career
Kayla “Halo” Wheeler is a breath of fresh air.
Only 16, and with a resume that can stand up to any
adult, Halo has begun on what will be a promising
singing career. A true triple threat with brains, beauty
and talent, Wheeler has worked with award-winning
Grammy producer Kelvin Wooten to create two chart
climbing singles “Gone” and “Therapy,” which are in
rotation on radio stations from Detroit to Nigeria. Her
debut album, “This is Who I Am,” will help Halo bring
her sound to the masses.
Halo successfully manages to juggle both
her school career and her music career. She is
currently performing, scheduling a much-anticipated
fall concert tour, and studying for her driving exam.
Watch for this student to rise both academically and
professionally.
“This is
who I
am.”
Birmingham has embraced this talented
young lady with open arms. Her unique and soulful
voice has serenaded the radio waves on ABC
33/40's Talk of Alabama, KISS FM 98.7 and this
year's 78th Magic City Classic.
"Fresh, bold, dynamic and cutting edge,” are
some of the word used when describing Halo's debut
album.
Although Halo has a busy career schedule,
slacking in the class room is not an option.
