Keyla Hernandez-Rodriguez (She/Her)
Music Director


Keyla Hernandez Rodriguez was born in Matanzas, Cuba, where her love for music began at just four years old. After moving to the United States as a teenager, she continued pursuing that passion, growing into a pianist, vocalist, music educator, and recently transferred to the University of Florida to pursue a Bachelor in Piano Performance.


Keyla believes music is one of the most beautiful ways to connect with others, express faith, and bring people together in meaningful ways. Her musical journey has included collaborations, performing at events, and even working in Braille music transcription to help make music more accessible to others.


When Keyla is not making music, you can probably find her baking something sweet, spending time with family and friends, playing with her dog Mila, or going on adventures with her partner Luciano.

Faith has been an important part of Keyla’s journey, and she feels incredibly grateful for the opportunity to use her gifts in service to the church community. She hopes to help create a welcoming and joyful worship space where people can connect with God, with one another, and maybe even leave humming a song..
