Layla Spring

2018 American Idol Finalist & Voted "Fan Favorite"

I’m Layla Spring!  I’m a 19 year old small town girl from the heart of Kentucky following my dream! I was a 2018 American Idol Finalist and voted “fan favorite”. That experience opened doors that allow me to continue to chase my dreams as a singer. That’s one of the reasons I’m so happy to be a part of “Sing For Your LifeSpan”. I love that I can be involved in something that shows my support for other young performers, and is ultimately helping the community, too!

Kelly K

DJX

I have been called Kelly K. since the first grade because my last name was super long! I started on the air while at Purdue University at 19 and stuck with it because I didn’t want a REAL job. HA! My hubby proposed on the air in 2006; we got married that October. We have two children. Our son, Jacob, is 11 and our daughter, Ava, is 8. We also have two fur babies! They’re pugs named Poppy and Piper. They eat everything they find on the floor. I’m passionate about my family, music, chocolate, and Ryan Reynolds. And I’m really excited to be a judge for Sing For Your LifeSpan. This event is going to be a lot of fun!
