Where Music Meets Meaning


I’m Kay Cote, founder of Amplify EDM — where creativity meets community and every beat tells a story. I help artists grow through development, events, and education, empowering them to share their truth and redefine what success in music means today.

“At Amplify EDM, we don’t just build artists — we build confidence, creativity, and connection.”

My Story

My journey began long before the spotlight — watching Liberace perform as a kid, mesmerized by his sequin suits and radiant energy. That’s where my love for performance began — with a fascination for how music can sparkle, both literally and emotionally.

Today, I carry that same sense of wonder into everything I do — blending classic inspiration with modern dance culture, curating experiences that celebrate sound, style, and soul.

A Voice for Artists

As a vocalist, podcaster, and tastemaker, I believe music welcomes everyone without judgment. It’s the universal language that helps us feel, heal, and connect.

Through my work — from emceeing events to producing AMPEDCast — my mission is simple: to help others find their voice and share it boldly with the world.

“Music is the soundtrack of life — and every artist deserves to be heard.”

Beyond the Mic

When I’m not on stage or in the studio, you’ll find me exploring Austin’s taco scene, recharging on the trail, or hanging out with my Siberian cat, Liza Jade — the real star of the show.
