YouTube Star And AMERICA'S GOT TALENT Finalist Stacey Kay Comes Home To Cambridge For Concert

With a powerhouse voice and spitfire rap skills, Stacey Kay is fast-becoming the next big thing in pop music - and she's ready to "show you what she's got!" The YouTube sensation and America's Got Talent finalist will come home to Cambridge for a one-night-only concert event on Thursday, November 8 at 7:30 p.m. at the Hamilton Family Theatre Cambridge.

Born and raised in Cambridge, Stacey Kay has always had a big voice, big personality and big dreams. After attending Sheridan College's prestigious Music Theatre Performance Program, she has steadily built a multi-faceted career that includes many styles of music, stage work and motivational speaking.

Stacey first gained notoriety on YouTube with stellar covers of top 40 hits like "All About That Bass", "Uptown Funk", and "Shape of You", among others. From Iggy Azalea and Jennifer Hudson to Meghan Trainor and Fergie, Stacey's covers have garnered respect and recognition from the original artists, who have either tweeted her videos or posted them on Facebook.

In 2015, Stacey became a contestant on Season 10 of America's Got Talent advancing to the finals and receiving rave reviews from celebrity judges Howard Stern, Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel and Mel B of Spice Girls fame.

In 2016, an impromptu moment in a South Carolina Walgreens changed everything. Stacey spontaneously performed one of Busta Rhymes' fastest raps for the employees and the video went viral with over 35 million views worldwide, garnering her widespread media attention.

Stacey co-wrote all of the songs on her first album "11 O'clock Number", which was released earlier this year. Before the album was even released, her song "Weight On My Shoulders" won the Canadian Songwriters Award for Best Adult Contemporary/Pop Song of 2018. Her album and lead single "Show You What I Got" continue to gain momentum on radio, YouTube, Spotify and Apple Music.

Stacey has performed at a number of high profile events including a David Foster concert that included Gordon Lightfoot, Peter Cetera, Michael Bolton and Stevie Wonder. She performed alongside k.d. lang at the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony at Massey Hall for Neil Young and Bruce Cockburn. Recently, she performed with The Tenors at a Toronto International Film Festival concert. On tour, Stacey has captivated audiences across Canada, the U.S., Asia and Europe with her band, and as part of Eh440, an award-winning, Toronto-based a cappella group.

In addition to her work as a pop artist, Stacey has appeared on stage in a number of musicals including the North American Tour of Godspell, and most recently, the premiere of Jukebox Hero, the music of Foreigner with Mirvish Productions. She has appeared in several Drayton Entertainment productions including Kings & Queens of Country, Legends of Rock 'n' Roll, Canadian Legends, Legally Blonde and Godspell.

Alongside her musical pursuits, Stacey is a motivational speaker touring schools around Canada and the U.S. spreading her inspirational message about hard work, positive body image, gaining confidence, dealing with bullies, and choosing to surround yourself with positive people.

Stacey Kay's band includes many graduates from London's Western University including Mark Laidman on bass, Josh Try on guitar, Jesse Grandmont on violin, Tony DeLuca on saxophone/keys, and Mark Swan on drums, along with Toronto recording artist Tafari Anthony on back-up vocals.
