Karly Summers is set to bring new life to her musical career with a spirit of enthusiasm and a handful of new tunes.

The Langford youth lay low for the past two years, while honing her skills, working on new material and getting ready to make another push at building a career from her passion.

B次元官网网址淚B次元官网网址檓 not looking for my big break or anything, because thatB次元官网网址檚 a lot of luck,B次元官网网址� Summers said. B次元官网网址淏ut IB次元官网网址檓 definitely going to take it one person, one show and one song at a time.B次元官网网址�

The Belmont grad just released a new single, B次元官网网址淗ow It Goes,B次元官网网址� and music video to go along with it. She records in a home studio her father, who works in the business, helped set up on a computer, using a professional microphone and Apple Loops for drums. Her father helps out again after sheB次元官网网址檚 finished recording, mixing and mastering the tracks.

Ambition pushed Summers to produce a full album, but she has since shied away from the idea, leaning instead towards continuing to release her material online, one track at a time.

B次元官网网址淭his stuff is pretty poppy, I would say, but the subject matter isnB次元官网网址檛 so much,B次元官网网址� Summers said. B次元官网网址淭he lyrics are more than just the pop stuff you hear these days B次元官网网址� touching on hopefully relatable topics for people.B次元官网网址�

Summers started writing songs at the age of eight, before she could even play an instrument. She picked up the guitar at age 11 and piano at 14, the same time she started performing for friends and peers at Spencer middle school.

With the help of her father she also started making music videos at 14 and posting them to YouTube.

B次元官网网址淪ongwriting stemmed from writing in general,B次元官网网址� Summers said. B次元官网网址淚 just remember always it was a thing I kept going back to, not really by choice. That sounds really weird, but it was just a very natural outlet.B次元官网网址�

The B次元官网网址淗ow It GoesB次元官网网址� music video captures some of the quintessential moments of SummersB次元官网网址� musical development: playing her first guitar; busking at the Sidney Street Market and downtown Victoria; using the money earned to buy a new guitar.

The video explores the many ways people incorporate music into their lives, while taking a look at some of the ways music has influences Summers.

B次元官网网址淢usic can bring you back to a certain place in your life and spark a really familiar feeling or memory,B次元官网网址� Summers said. B次元官网网址淚B次元官网网址檇 never really written a song about music, usually itB次元官网网址檚 about a different topic, so it was really cool.B次元官网网址�

The video also features many West Shore locations and faces.

While recording her current batch of songs, Summers managed to write enough new ones for another project, so thatB次元官网网址檚 whatB次元官网网址檚 next. She said she can hear her songs developing as she progresses.

B次元官网网址淭heyB次元官网网址檙e songs that IB次元官网网址檓 really, really passionate about and theyB次元官网网址檙e just at a totally different level or mindset,B次元官网网址� Summers said. B次元官网网址淚B次元官网网址檓 really excited.B次元官网网址�

She plans to release a new single and music video in early January. B次元官网网址淗ow It GoesB次元官网网址� is available on iTunes. For the music video visit karlysummers.com and for an acoustic performance of the song visit vicnews.com under the West Shore neighbourhood.
