Early life
Kays grew up in Carmel, Indiana. After busking in her hometown as a teen,[2] she began posting covers online. Kays began writing and posting original songs after moving to Nashville, Tennessee for college.[3]
Career
She released her first EP A House Too Big in 2018.
In 2020 she released Remember That Night? which a Billboard review said "demonstrates the full-bodied nature of her songwriting, which tells the story of post-breakup wistfulness while the vocals are layered during the most piercing stray thoughts."[4] In 2021 she made her network TV debut performing it on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.[5]
She described Bored, released in 2023, as being "about how I struggle to open up to people because of the fear that people will get bored of me" in an interview with Rolling Stone.[6]
