Meet the headlining Singer-Songwriters lighting up JAX SongStage Showcase at Campus JAX on Tuesday, Feb 10 at 6:30pm. These three artists are crowd favorites, each bringing a unique sound and story. Get to know Majo Insuasti, Danny Beissel, and Kaity B – their career highlights, musical style, and why they’ve become beloved at JAX SongStage. Also performing and opening the night will be Dave Stretch, In Deep Duo (Christi Fisher & Shiro Nobunaga), and Bob Young.

 

Colombian-born singer-songwriter Majo Insuasti might be in her early 20s, but her musical journey is already remarkable. By age 14 she was competing (and winning) national songwriting festivals in Colombia, demonstrating a talent far beyond her years. Before finishing high school, she self-produced a debut album Origen that artfully blended her country’s folk traditions with jazz and pop sensibilities. That genre-fusing creativity – which she proudly calls “the fresh sound of youth” – defines Insuasti’s style. In 2021, she brought her dreams to California, and it wasn’t long before her soulful voice and heartfelt originals started turning heads on the local scene.

 

Now based in Orange County, Majo continues to build on the momentum. She’s opened for heavy-hitters like Latin jazz legend Arturo Sandoval at Campus JAX – a testament to her powerhouse vocals and charismatic stage presence. Whether she’s delivering a delicate Spanish-language ballad or a spirited pop tune original, her goal is to “convey a good message… a message that transforms”. Audiences are drawn to her authenticity and warmth, making every performance feel intimate yet exhilarating. Her performances are rich with Latin-folk rhythms, pop polish, and the kind of youthful optimism that will leave you inspired.

If there’s one word to sum up Danny Beissel, it’s ROCK – in attitude, pedigree, and soul. Born and raised in Philadelphia, Beissel first honed his chops as a stage actor in the ’90s before finding his true calling behind a microphone. He burst onto the national scene fronting the hard rock band Fosterchild, scoring a record deal with Warner Music and a breakout single (“Bulletproof”) that became a hit on Armed Forces Radio. The band even rang in New Year’s 2010 with a special show for U.S. troops at Guantanamo Bay – an early hint that Beissel’s gritty vocals and electric performances could captivate audiences in any setting. With a voice that carries both grit and soul, “instantly captivating audiences”, he went on to share stages with rock heavyweights from post-grunge chart-toppers Shinedown to classic legends like Cheap Trick’s Robin Zander and The Doors’ Robby Krieger.

Today, Danny Beissel is still firing on all cylinders. He’s freshly off the release of his debut solo project Featherborn, a riff-loaded album that marries timeless rock hooks with contemporary polish. In fact, Beissel celebrated Featherborn with a sold-out album release show at Campus JAX – solidifying his status as a local rock hero. When he’s not crafting his own songs, Beissel fronts the American Vinyl All-Star Band alongside bona fide rock icons Jeff “Skunk” Baxter (Steely Dan/Doobie Brothers) and Barry Goudreau (formerly of Boston). That star-powered collaboration speaks to his stellar industry reputaion. Yet, whether he’s belting originals or trading licks with legends, Beissel’s focus is on connecting with the crowd. A regular at JAX SongStage, he’s known for his big voice, bigger heart, and decades of rock ’n’ roll stories.

Kaity B is a singer-songwriter, pianist, and aspiring music producer, known for her uplifting, faith-inspired songs. Originally from Fontana, California, she graduated from Concordia University Irvine in 2025 with a B.A. in Commercial Music (emphasis in Songwriting). During her college years, Kaity B was an active member of the acclaimed Concordia Choir and the Commercial Music Ensemble, and she continues to serve as a worship leader at churches across Southern California. Her songwriting is deeply rooted in her Christian faith – she aims to inspire listeners with positivity and reminders of God’s love.

Kaity B grew up singing in church and was influenced early on by gospel music and classic soul/R&B artists her father would play, such as Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, and Michael Jackson. In middle school, she also fell in love with country music for its storytelling, giving her a unique blend of musical influences – gospel, R&B, and country – that shape her singing and songwriting style. These diverse influences became the basis of her artistry, described as “R&B-flavored” with heartfelt storytelling and soulful vocals.

A defining aspect of Kaity B’s music is its faith-driven message and positive outlook. “There are so many blessings and also hardships and the only way I am getting through it is trusting in the Lord… I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for God,” she stated in early 2025, emphasizing that “a lot of my music is about God and how He loves us”.

While still a student and since graduating, Kaity B has built an impressive list of performances and musical accomplishments. In addition to her many opportunities across the country with choirs and ensembles at Concordia University her performances include:

After years of writing music and performing live, Kaity B is now translating her passion into recorded projects. She began work on her debut album during her senior year, with a vision of blending her gospel, R&B, and pop influences into a signature sound. In fact, Concordia University’s state-of-the-art recording studio became a creative home for Kaity; she spent studio sessions there developing her first record. The upcoming album’s title track, “We Made It,” has already proven to be a show-stopper in concerts, often leaving audiences moved and eager to talk to her about it afterward. Alongside this, she has written other original songs – “Shooting Star,” “High Horse,” “Golden Streets,” and more – which she has tested and performed live at songwriter showcases (building anticipation among her fans for the upcoming 2026 release).
