MORE ABOUT KAY:

I am Kay also known as The Organized Soprano on YouTube! I make fun videos about home organizing, cleaning and my life as a professional classical singer in Boston, Massachusetts! I am also a professional home organization and clutter coach. My YouTube videos inspire others to live a more organized life by showing them practical and creative ways to organize every room in their home as well as change the way they think about their living space. My co-star Clover, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is the most organized dog in America.

As a former long-time Container Store employee and contract employee, I am familiar with many fantastic home products and brands. I have worked with great brands and publications such as Marriott, HomeChef, Shark, Real Simple, Extra Space Storage, Better Homes & Gardens, Cricut & ZEP. As a family-friendly lifestyle brand, I make fun and informative content about the best home and organization products on the market.

Holding two degrees in Classical Vocal Performance from Boston Conservatory and Longy School of Music, I still have an active singing career in the Boston area. I have performed with groups such as Connecticut Early Music Festival, BMOP, Opera Providence, Cantata Singers, Back Bay Chorale and Odyssey Opera.

Happy Halloween, Modern Singers! This week, Ellen and Alyssa are talking all things backstage superstition. What’s your superstition before a show?
