KTO Project CD #2 update!
Summer has been so good to me! Along with having some time to slow down, reflect, relax, refocus and recommit my life’s work, journey and goals, I have been writing songs for my next recording! Next steps are pre-production-working out the arrangements and getting ready for the studio in the fall.

And let me take this time to say how much I appreciate all your support, well wishes, showing up to gigs, classes and just letting me share my life as a musician with all of you! Thank you so much for the privilege to of your attention and appreciation of my calling as an artist!

   — Many blessings, Kelly Takunda Orphan Martinez (KTOM)
