It will be released in 2012, and will be available via digital download and at select Sheplers Western Wear stores nationwide. The CD will feature the impacting song “Phoebe (It Matters What We Do).”
“Phoebe” was written by Kylie and Nashville songsmiths Liz Hengber and Rob Crosby. The song was inspired by teenager Phoebe Prince who took her life in 2009 because of bullying. “We wrote this song in honor of Phoebe. When I found out an estimated 160,000 children miss school every day because they are bullied, I wanted to do something to make a difference. I started my own bullying prevention awareness campaign,” says Kylie. She speaks publicly at events and educational facilities delivering the bullying prevention awareness message, “It Matters What We Do.”
Kylie is the celebrity spokesperson for Prevent Blindness Oklahoma. She travels to schools throughout the state delivering her message. “70% of juvenile delinquents suffer from undiagnosed vision disorders which can contribute to learning disorders, feelings of failure, low self-esteem and frustration. (This) fits with my message,” explains Kylie.
Kylie is also a peer spokesperson for PACER.org’s National Bullying Prevention Center, which engages and educates communities nationwide to address bullying with a focus on teen-to-teen involvement.
Kylie’s take on life: “I think you should pursue the things you love, and I want my fans to know it is OK to just be yourself!”
Kylie tours regularly with her band and in her own tour bus. She has already opened for Steel Magnolia, Glorianna ,JaneDear Girls and Ty England. Besides the sponsorship by Sheplers for Land Run Records, Kylie’s endorsements include Wrangler’s “Rock 47” jeans and Slap Energy Drink.
