Kyle’s Linktree (with various other musical projects)

Kyle is a composer, songwriter, singer and multi-instrumentalist based in NYC, but originally from New Mexico. Studying music from an early age, Kyle began touring the US with his friends in bands at the age of 15. Eventually finding his way to music programs at Interlochen Arts Academy and New York University, Kyle has written pieces for a wide variety of instrumentation and performed in master classes with the likes of Wynton Marsalis and Fabio Zanon. Kyle found his first notable foothold as the songwriting front person of the critically acclaimed band Milagres, earning accolades from NPR, BBC, KEXP and KCRW.  Milagres has released 2 albums internationally with legendary indie label Kill Rock Stars in the US and Memphis Industries/PIAS in the UK, and has toured extensively in the US and Europe, performing at many major festivals as well as on television and radio along the way. Milagres self-released their 4th full length, ZIGGURAT in the fall of 2018. In 2022, Kyle self-produced and released his first solo LP, Journey to the Center of the Egress’ Dream.

Kyle started his career collaborating with filmmakers in 2015 by scoring an ITVS/PBS feature documentary, Denial. Since then he has worked on a multitude of film projects, including the Netflix Original Feature Documentary Get Me Roger Stone, HBO Docs’ feature documentary The Swamp, Discovery+’s series, The Men Who Sold the World Cup, as well as several web-series and shorts for The New York Times, The Guardian, TIME, Independent Lens and The Atlantic. Kyle also acted as the music editor for the 6 episode series The Clinton Affair on A&E, working with composer Gary Lionelli. Most recently Kyle has scored numerous short narrative films which are currently running on the festival circuit.

Kyle values flexibility, communication, and freshness. He is fluent in a wide variety of sonic media and maintains an interest in virtually all genres of music, which allows him to approach projects with a unique fluidity. He enjoys the challenges and inspiration that come with working with whatever tools are available to him in each moment, and he loves to discover sounds in unexpected places.  

When he’s not creating music, Kyle spends most of his free time outdoors.  Taking much of his inspiration and energy from the sublime wildernesses he prefers to inhabit, Kyle’s relationship to nature is elemental to his output as an artist.
