For those of you who do not know me, my name is Kyle Turner, a.k.a. Killa Theory. After years of music training, performances, working, teaching, and money spent, I feel I am ready to take my work to a new level. I am working on my 2nd solo album and creating some very exciting new and original music which is resulting in , "THE PRODUCTION OF MY 1ST MUSIC VIDEO"!!! 

The single that I selected for the video from my album is Body Right. It is a provocative/ musically whimsical electronic track that takes you on a journey using pulsating rhythms, deep bass, and fun melodies. 

In this life we can never do it alone. I would not be where I am today if it was not for the help, love, and guidance of others, therefore, I am asking your support and monetary donation towards the creation of this video. Your contribution will help fulfill a life long dream to bring my music to life visually for all to enjoy. No amount is too small.


I am a native of Baltimore, Maryland. My passion has been playing and creating music for the majority of my life. When I was 4, I attended a musical performance of Peter Pan. A live orchestra accompanied the play. My mind was captivated by the music and the cello. I was so inspired that I began my music career playing the cello the following year. The cello has always been a catalyst for all of the music I have and will create. I began my training at The Baltimore Talent Education Center and The Waldorf School of Baltimore. In my senior year of high school at the Baltimore School for the Arts, I caught the producing bug. This lead to me attending the prestigious Berklee College of Music where I received a Bachelors Degree in Music Production and Engineering. I also earned an Associate of Arts Degree in Music from Essex Community College in Baltimore County.

In 2003, I found a new passion in Electronic Dance Music (EDM) which encouraged me to develop my techniques and self teach myself in the art of  Dj`n. During this time period, I branded myself with my current monicker "Killa Theory". The name expresses the thought of the music I create and also uses the initials of my name. While attending Berklee, I started Anti-Star Productions with Paul Weidel, a.k.a. Blaze P. Anti-Star focused on artist development, production for studio albums, video games, and film in all genres of music. In 2009, I joined the 7 piece Rock/Hip-Hop group 'The Bloks' playing keyboard, engineering, and Dj'n. Shortly after joining The Bloks and Dj'n in the Boston nightlife scene, I moved to Brooklyn, NY. After a rewarding internship at the famous Avatar Recording Studio, my first solo album 'People's Party' was produced. The album showcased original Electro House tracks. After meeting David Dahlquist, a fellow producer, we merged to form the EDM group 'Dat Beat'. Dat Beat had good success in producing tracks for viral internet videos. We released tracks with several record labels which gained us recognition with a wide variety of music blogs and fans alike. Currently, I am working on my second solo album in addition to collaborating with several producers and artists in NYC and various  international locations. For live performances I Dj with my live drummer, Devin Collins as 'Killa Theory Live.'  In addition, I was recently featured on Korean NBC television, continue to teach music production and engineering, and work as a producer, mix and mastering engineer for studio albums.

How the Money Will Be Used:

Indiegogo.com will take a percentage of all the money we raise. With that taken into consideration, my goal is to raise at least $6,000 to cover the cost of creation and promotion for the video. One hundred % (100%) of all funds raised will go towards the creation and promotion of the music video. Donations of any level are greatly appreciated.

Preliminary work has begun on the video with my talented director (Evan Cohen), producer (Davis Howley), and crew. Rehearsals have also begun with our amazing dancers, Mr. Ocean (lead dancer); Ericka A. Hart (choreographer); and Sophia LaVonne (dancer). The director and producer have offered their professional services at no cost because of their belief in the success of this project. The crew and cast have all been working very hard to make this dream come true.

We have some nice perks/ gifts for all donators. All perks will be delivered, and the video will be finished in a timely fashion.

The budget break down:

Dancers $650.00

Total Crew $850.00

  • Director $0
  • Cinematographer $400
  • UPM $0
  • Gaffer $200
  • AC $100

NOTE: The remaining funds, $3,001+, will go towards hiring a public relations firm or publicists to get the project off the ground and gain maximum exposure. In conjunction with releasing on a record label (still to be determined) and your help, this project has a great chance of success.

As stated before none of this can be accomplished without your help. I am always surprised and humbled by the level of love, support, and confidence friends, family, and fans have in my abilities. I aspire to create something great of which you can all be a part of and have a direct impact on the success of the music video. I greatly appreciate the teachers, mentors, family, friends and those who have faith in my ability to succeed.

We all know times are tight right now, so even if you are not able to donate at this time there are still ways you can help.

One of the most effective ways to help is to GET THE WORD OUT. Use the Indiegogo share tools to post and share to Facebook, Twitter, and other sites. You can also email this link to people. Simple word of mouth works also. The more people are visiting the campaign and donating gives it more of a chance to appear on Indiegogo's main page and come up in their top searches. 

Thank you so much to everyone for their continued support, time, effort, and donation.
