* She’s a singer, songwriter and aspiring actress from Montgomery, Alabama, who goes by the stage name Lady K.

* She’s already released a trio of R&B albums, “Letter from Lady K” in 2015, “Unfinished Love Story” in 2018 and an eight-song project simply titled “K” in 2020.

* She released her latest single, “Guard Down,” on Dec. 15, and there’s a music video too, featuring Kezia Istonia. Check out the video below to see why Kezia used both names on the project.

* The song is about finding a man she can trust to the point where she can leave her “Guard Down” and show’s off Lady K’s singing and rapping ability.
