Music is what makes life worth living. A gesture of emotion, and thought for the moment lived. 

A multi-instrumentalist that takes influences from artists abound : https://open.spotify.com/user/128871025?si=LBOuMJN-QxmFqG4Z9X1RtQ

Starting career out with Kelly Miller's folk influenced Vague Complaints, Burnett will continue to work in the realm of alternative, electronic, blues, funk, afrobeat, and rock.

If he could pick one artist to be his favourite, it would be Radiohead.


This channel has some collected works with Kyle Burnett and friend, folk musician Kelly Miller along with some of the Half Truth recordings.

The Half Truth are a band from Monterey, CA, focusing on folk, funk, world, jazz, and rock genres. This account will post some live recordings and early demos of songs especially focusing on the jam quality of our content, bluegrass, and cover songs.

The Half Truth were formed in 2018 in response to pressures to create music and all the members meeting at school in Monterey, California.

Powered by the world music knowledge and indelible presence of Ekene "Richard" Nworah - his folk stylings brought the group together. Mixed with the depth of musical theory and golden ear of Kyle Burnett's multi-instrumentalist skills, the original duo was destined to meet.

By recruiting the incredibly talented banjoist Drew Miller into the fold, the group took shape.  Drew's impressive Claw-Hammer skills added a forward momentum to The Half Truth that allowed up to expand into folk and bluegrass.

Abigail Blass became integrated into the sound as more of the group moved away after graduating.  Her soulful sound is a great compliment to the group's theme.

Other musicians have played with The Half Truth, filtering in and out of membership, but all of them have their own paths in life and will go on to do great things.

Kelly Miller, for one, is a talented songwriter with a need to express his sounds.  He joins in on the action many times, and fit in seamlessly.  Emmy Ham, and her impressive voice, along with James Taylor and Alaina Joleen completed the group's maximum limit. A few other folks played in an out of jams, they are mentioned in each track's description.

With 2020, and a world-changing rapidly, The Half Truth went on hiatus to pursue personal projects and careers, to live safely.
