The Prologue

Before the curtain rose, there was this

I’m Ky Lavey: artist, performer, storyteller.


Overture to a Dream is more than a project; it’s a portal. It opens the curtain on a world I’ve named Solarae, a place shaped by light and longing, honesty and performance. I make music that blends vulnerability with groove, heartbreak with hope, dreams with deep-rooted truths. It’s R&B at its core tinged with hip-hop, soul, theater, and the reality of being a Black man searching for joy in a world that doesn’t make it easy. Every note, every lyric, every choice is part of building that world. If you're reading this, you're already in it.

Welcome to Solarae.

“Step inside, the dream is waiting.”
