HarpistKT

My Christmas album (EP) is here!! “Joy” is a collection of some of my favourite Christmas pieces, arranged for solo harp. I wanted this EP to capture the feeling we all share around the holidays: light, warmth, and that sense of togetherness. While these selections are rooted in the story of Jesus’ birth, the feeling behind them is something everyone can connect with - and that’s the joy I wanted to share. I hope this music brings a little brightness into your home this holiday season, the same way it did for me while creating it for you! Thanks for supporting my music, I love you all!!

It's been a very difficult two weeks dealing with a large amount of hate for something I did not do and it's important I address it.

Some may have seen a viral video another content creator made that included a screenshot of my name while discussing a copyright claim on their livestream. Because my name was visible, it gave the impression that I personally flagged their performance. This is not true.

What happened was an automatic YouTube ContentID match. The system heard the melody they played in their live stream and flagged it. That melody is owned by the original artist's publisher, not by me nor my record label. Because I have a cover recording of that same song, YouTube displayed my name in the claim, even though the claim did not come from me.

To be very clear:

I did not and cannot manually flag other artists.

Artists have zero control over ContentID. And there is no opt-out option for me as only the original song's artist has control over this type of claim.

YouTube sometimes shows the name of the sound recording artist even when the composition owner is the one issuing the claim. This is confusing, and I understand how people unfamiliar with YouTube’s system might misinterpret it. I’ve spoken with my record label as well, and they confirmed that the claim was triggered by the composition, not my recording.

If that creator wishes to dispute the claim, they absolutely can do so through YouTube.

I reached out to the creator privately, but unfortunately the misinformation continued to spread, so I felt it was important to address it here directly.

It’s been incredibly upsetting to receive continuous hate spammed across my channel for something I had no involvement in and no control over, but I hope this clears up the misinformation. Thank you to everyone who took the time to look into the facts and approach with kindness.

I love Metallica, they are always so supportive. They've watched and commented on several of my covers, and even reshared. HOW COOL!! One of the highlights of my time sharing videos to social media was definitely when they asked if my Nothing Else Matter cover could be showed during their 40th Anniversary concert in San Francisco. I never imagined this would be my life, what a ride 🤩
