Kylie Bruneel (Esther/Hadassah) has been singing and performing from an early age, developing a lifelong passion for music and the stage.
While earning her Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance from Utah Valley University, Kylie appeared in many fully staged and concert productions. She performed leading roles such as Maria in West Side Story, Despina in Così fan tutte, Mabel in The Pirates of Penzance, and Pamina in Die Zauberflöte. She has also performed with the chorus of Utah Opera and Utah Lyric Opera.
Today, Kylie records and performs professionally with Kofoed Family Music. With them, she has loved combining three of her greatest passions in life: music, family, and faith.
She and her husband, Mitch, reside in Meridian, Idaho, where they are joyfully raising and homeschooling their four children.
In ESTHER: An Instrument of Peace, Kylie is honored to portray Esther—a woman whose quiet faith, courage, and willingness to trust God continue to inspire across generations.
