Writing a jingle promoting the importance of the new hospital wing was no sweat for Kaelyn Kastle.The 17-year-old was familiar with the facility she’d been a patient at King Edward VII Memorial Hospital and had worked there as a volunteer.So when she was asked by Bermuda Hospitals Charitable Trust (BHCT) to create something that would highlight their efforts in the eyes of the public, she immediately knew the type of thing they were looking for.The result is ‘Why It Matters’.“Making this song was interesting because I haven’t done something like this before,” said the Mount St Agnes student. “But then I sat down and said, ‘Why do we need a hospital and what are they bringing forth to us? What new things are they trying to implement into this new building?’“I realised this was important. Writing the song was easier than I thought, because I was able to experience it, and comprehend everything that we need and why we are doing it.“I am kind of excited about the new hospital, I think healthcare is very important to the Island and the community.”Orville Malcolm of Bermuda Soul Records helped produce the song at Platinum Studios on Church Street. Kaelyn had signed with the company in 2011 when she made her first album, ‘Love, Drama, Dreams’.Platinum owner Glenn Blakeney recommended BHCT contact the teenager about making the song.It was a happy match. BHCT was familiar with Kaelyn through her volunteer work in the cardiology lab at KEMH.“We had one conversation with her,” said DeShae DeShields of BHCT. “She said ‘I’ve got this. I’ll get right back to you’.“Within a week she had the lyrics down, we were beyond impressed when we saw it. She even created a melody with her producer.”Kaelyn explained that she doesn’t typically sit in one place and write out a song but instead composes it in her head, often while riding her bike.“When I feel that what I am thinking is correct, that is when I put it onto paper,” she said. “Sometimes I am riding my bike and I have to pull over to write down a line. I put it into my cell phone.”She performed around the Island as a youngster and was excited when she was signed by Bermuda Soul Records.“It was nice to know that people want to invest in you,” she said. “That makes me feel like, okay, yes, my talent is probably what they say it is. It is good enough to compete with others.“I do not do many local performances. I have done a showcase, I have performed at the Mint Condition Concert organised by the Bermuda alumni chapter of the Kappas Alpha Psi. I also performed in the Bermuda Idol Competition as a guest artist. Singing is a way for me to get my talent out there.”Although she would like to sing professionally, her goal is to go to college this autumn and study either pre-law, politics, or international relations.She currently sits in Youth Parliament as the Deputy Opposition Leader and served as a page during the recent Budget debates. This involved running messages across the floor and getting water and doing other minor errands for politicians.Kaelyn has also been nominated for an Outstanding Teen Award; winners will be announced later this month.‘Why it Matters’ can be downloaded at www.bermudasoul.com.
