Kwynn “KJ” Phillips

Hey there! I’m KJ — a Midwest-raised, Mid-South-based baritone with a passion for bringing music to life. Whether it’s the drama of opera, the charm of musical theatre, the intimacy of art song, or the fun of a pop tune, I love exploring every corner of what music has to offer.

My journey hasn’t exactly followed the script. In 2018, while earning my undergraduate degree, I was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease that impacts most of my organs. I learned that singing was doing more than bringing me joy—it was keeping my lungs healthy. That aha moment reshaped my path, inspiring me to fuse my love of music, health sciences, and teaching to help others use their voices for healing and self-expression.

These days, I’m all about creating unforgettable performances and empowering fellow artists to connect deeply with their music and themselves. Whether I’m center stage or behind the scenes, my mission is the same: to use music as a force for good, healing minds, bodies, and souls along the way.

Let’s make music that moves, inspires, and changes lives—starting with yours!
