ple," he recalls.."I thought. 1
was gonna get lost in. the
shuffle, but the city really
took me in. The people are-
incredible here. I call it a
'big small town,' because
everybody seems to know.
everybody and it doesn't
take long to get a good net-
work of friends going. It's
been really good to me."
 So good, in fact, that Kyle
is already preparing, to re-


lease his second album. It'll
be mostly made up of songs
he wrote himself, either
alone or with co-writers.
"I'm finding myself right
now, and I love the fact that
I'm capable of putting down
those feelings on paper,",
says Kyle, who describes his
style as "driving and crazy
and funny., I get 'em.laugh-
ing, get 'em dancing, and'
then just drop 'em, with a
great ballad!"


 Kyle has been consumed
by, the urge to entertain since
his childhood in New Mexi-
co, and that's exactly what
he wants to do in his music-
nothing more, nothing less.
"I'm.not making a state-
ment," he says. "I'm not.try-
ing to prove', anything. .I
don't say'anything political,
I don't say anything about'
religion. I just want people
to laugh, have a good time
and feel special."
