Kelsey Dodd, at just 17, is no newcomer to music. Since age five, Kelsey has been on a steady journey fueled by her passion for singing and the performing arts. From vocal lessons across genres and styles, to musical theater, and training on piano, ukulele, and (a recent dabble in) guitar, she’s set to release her debut EP, “Forever Evergreen.” Originally planned as a holiday project of reimagined Christmas classics, Kelsey shares that during the process of selecting songs, she became inspired to create an original track that captures her deep, imaginative connection to the colors, emotions, and memories of the holidays and family.
Based in Saratoga, New York, Kelsey brings a vibrant blend of musical influences to her work, from contemporary pop, soul, jazz, and classical sounds. She’s drawn inspiration from greats like Barbara Streisand and Ella Fitzgerald to contemporary artists like Adele and Kelly Clarkson, for her ability to sing powerfully, and convey deep emotion through her voice. Kelsey shares that her style has also been shaped by her background in musical theater, where she’s learned to give each performance its own narrative. She really commits to delivering the story behind each song—something you’ll experience when you listen to “Forever Evergreen.”
The EP’s title track, “Forever Evergreen,” co-written with Cassandra Kubinski, and produced by Joel Moss and Jim Mastrianni, is the emotional centerpiece of the project. This original song embodies Kelsey’s authenticity and love for the holiday season, which she describes as a time when, no matter what happens throughout the year, the holidays serve to reconnect with family, yourself, and the things you cherish most.
“No matter what we’ve lost, no matter what we knew,Who had a golden year or who’s feeling blueThose memories wrapped in red on that snow white sceneThe moments that we share this season stay forever evergreen,” she sings in the chorus line.
Kelsey describes the Evergreen tree as a symbol of both nostalgia and continuity—a constant rock, much like family and tradition. The color green represents the refreshing, and regrounding elements of connecting with her family, where each time, they get to create new moments with one another.
In addition to her original song, the EP includes four classic Christmas covers. She laughs that the selection process started with her bringing a binder full of 30+ Christmas covers to her team that she knew and loved, but needed support narrowing down. Her team comprises Grammy-winning producer Joel Moss, whom Kelsey met through the Saratoga Children’s Theater, producer Jim Mastrianni, and musical director Cassandra Kubinski. The team’s creative process included brainstorming over dozens of these holiday tracks, finally landing on the songs that sparked the most joy and musical uniqueness with Kelsey’s delivery.
Joel played an instrumental role helping Kelsey cultivate an animated experience in the EP, full with live instruments like saxophone, clarinet, and organ to capture that classic Christmas warmth. She mentions not wanting to give too much away, but loved some of the creative touches they made to each track; Nat King Cole’s “The Christmas Song,” features a nod to the Nutcracker, while “Let It Snow” gets a jazzy twist with playful hints of “Jingle Bells.” Each song infuses Kelsey’s emotional connection to holiday memories and colors, and combines nostalgia with the newness of each season. While initially planned as an EP of just covers, the team delightfully realized that an original track would complete the collection, rounding out the project.
For Kelsey, “Forever Evergreen” represents more than a musical project. The EP celebrates self-expression, authenticity, gratitude, family, and tradition. Through her music, she hopes to inspire fans to embrace their own roots and cherish the people around them. “This project allowed me to bring myself to the table, to share my memories, and to watch them come alive in the lyrics and music,” she says. It captures a very real and foundational part of herself.
As Kelsey steps into her future with dreams of performing and releasing more original music, she’ll be headed to NYC to pursue a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Musical Theater.
To readers and future fans, Kelsey offers a closing piece of advice: “Don’t be afraid to share yourself with the world, being genuine and authentic can lead to some of the greatest gifts life could give you. Don’t be afraid to open those doors.”
For a musical reminder to celebrate family and the little things that make this season so special, Catch “https://vyd.co/ForeverEvergreen” coming out November 15th.

Burt Bankkz's latest single, "Dreams," is a heartfelt hip-hop ballad inspired by his struggles growing up in the tough Deepside neighborhood of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The track combines reflective lyrics with a mellow guitar-driven beat, telling the story of escape through music."Dreams" reflects Burt's journey from hardship to hope, aiming to shine a positive light in an era where much of rap focuses on violence and negativity. Featuring T-Rell, the song emphasizes the hard work behind achieving dreams, with T-Rell's rapid-fire verses underscoring the grind.Since starting rap at age 11, Burt has used music as a way out of his environment. “Dreams” marks a shift in his style, blending melody and rhythm to create a sound that's both introspective and impactful. Burt’s commitment to authenticity is evident in his creative direction, including traveling 20 hours to Oklahoma City to shoot the video with T-Rell.Moving forward, Burt plans to continue exploring more melodic and meaningful music, with a focus on building his fan base and learning the music business.

Bio
Bay Area electronic collective Blast Havers crafts music with both the dance floor and a broader audience in mind. While their tracks are designed to get people moving, they also aim to resonate with listeners outside of the club, capturing the feeling of fun and freedom that music offers—whether at a desk, in the car, or at a party.Their sound, rooted in tech house, features a laid-back tempo that allows for more space in the beats, blending chill vibes with high-energy moments. This creates a paradoxical, yet engaging experience—perfect for both dancing and deeper listening. "We’re making music that transports people, not just to the dance floor, but through a whimsical, almost absurd journey," they explain.Their debut single, "Tested On Animals," reflects this unique approach, inspired by the irony of a dog treat package labeled "not tested on animals." With witty lyricism and unconventional pacing, Blast Havers embraces the roots of house music, reminding listeners that slowing down doesn’t mean sacrificing energy.Drawing influences from funk, Daft Punk, Gorillaz, and De La Soul, the group plans to release several singles through 2025, including "Content Schmontent" in January and "Take The Ride" in February, alongside expanding their visual presence. At their core, Blast Havers is all about having fun—both for the audience and themselves. "Just having a blast," as they put it.
