A Life in Music
Shaped by Music from an Early Age
Micaela Kingslight is a multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, songwriter, music educator, and somatic sound practitioner whose life has been shaped by music from an early age. Raised by opera singers in Taos, New Mexico, she began singing as early as 3 years old and composing and performing original music by nine before falling madly in love with the guitar when she was ten.
Since then Micaela has developed a dynamic sound weaving folk, blues, soul, medicine music, and contemporary influences. She has toured extensively, opened for legendary artists including B.B. King and Keb’ Mo’, and performs both as a solo artist and with the folk and medicine music trio Three Wheels Turning. She has recorded two solo albums and has a double album in the works.
Micaela’s work explores the transformative potential of sound, movement, and the human voice—inviting people into deeper embodiment, creative expression, connection, and liberation.
