about
Kyla Brox (born in Stockport, Greater Manchester, on 3 June 1980) is a blues and soul singer from a musical family (her parents, Victor Brox and Annette Brox, performed in the Victor Brox Blues Train and both appeared on the 1970 original recording of "Jesus Christ Superstar"). Kyla Brox grew up listening to her father playing the blues and her mum singing opera. At the age of 12 her dreams turned to reality when she started performing in her father's band, Victor Brox Blues Train. Since then, Brox has recorded a series of albums, including 2009's "Grey Sky Blue", an acoustic album featuring the guitar skills of song-writing partner, Danny Blomeley. Not only did Brox grow up listening to her dad singing the blues and her mum singing opera, there were also the rock exploits of her four older siblings. By the age of 3 she had her heart set firmly on becoming a singer (even asking for Chaka Khan's clothes, hair and voice for Christmas) and by 1993, at 12 years old, she had already begun to sing in her father's band, the Victor Brox Blues Train (which he originally formed in the 60s with Kyla's mother, Annette). It's little wonder that her father, a multi-instrumentalist and singer (who fronted The Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation, and played/recorded with the likes of Alexis Korner, Little Walter, Graham Bond, Muddy Waters, Champion Jack Dupree, Jimi Hendrix, Doctor John, Peter Green and Sonny Boy Williamson II...) has been a huge influence on Kyla Brox's musical career, encourag
