Hayley Kiyoko played a sold-out show at SOhO Restaurant & Music Club on Sunday, March 5, for a packed house. A broad age range of teens and adults lined up outside the club, eagerly awaiting to see the pop star. This show was particularly exciting for me because I've known Kiyoko since she was the Student Body President at Lindero Canyon Middle School in Agoura Hills.
Before the show, Kiyoko sat down with me to discuss the explosion of her music career. As a well-established actress, Kiyoko is no stranger to massive success and has held starring and supporting roles in Insidious: Chapter 3, The Vampire Diaries, Scooby-Doo! The Mystery Begins, CSI, Wizards of Waverly Place, and much more.
“I love acting, but music has always been my biggest passion,” she said, “and obviously storytelling, so writing a song, shooting a video for it, and creating the story — but the dream is being able to do both, and to be at the same level. Right now I’ve been building my music to level out with my acting, and I’ll build it even more.”
