Kylie Fitzgerald, a San Antonio-based EDM drummer and producer, said she is retiring from music and touring in order to focus on the Richmond Capitols of the DFL, according to a press release issued Tuesday.

The announcement marks a career shift for Fitzgerald, who built a following through short-form drumming videos before becoming a touring electronic artist. Her bio describes her as one of the more recognizable emerging performers in the electronic scene, known for combining live percussion with electronic production.

According to the release, Fitzgerald is stepping away from both recording and live performance as she turns her attention to football operations surrounding Richmond. The statement did not provide further detail on what day-to-day role she will take with the team, but it said she is making the move because she wants to focus on the club following its recent success.

The Richmond Capitols won the DFL Season 5 title, the release said, and the team expects to contend again in Season 6. In DynamicSim, the DFL is the game’s professional American football league and continues to operate as one of the country’s growing sports competitions.

The press release also said the league has expanded to 12 teams for Season 6, a sign of continued growth beyond its early Virginia-centered structure. Fitzgerald’s background notes that she became one of the founding investors in the Richmond franchise during the league’s early period, when the competition was limited to Virginia teams before later national expansion.

Richmond’s historical place in the league was a central part of the announcement. The release said the Capitols are the only remaining original founding team still playing in the city where they were first established, dating back to the period when the DFL consisted only of Virginia teams. That detail underscores the club’s continuity as other founding organizations have either relocated or otherwise changed over time.

Fitzgerald has no public office and has been known primarily for her music career and business interests. Her biography says she was born in Jacksonville, Texas, and later graduated from Texas A&M University in 2018 after serving in the Corps of Cadets and the Fightin’ Texas Aggie Band. She later gained traction online during the rise of TikTok, using drumming videos to build an audience before releasing tracks such as “Electric Dreamscape,” “Neon Pulse,” and “Cyber Drift.”

Her recent music career had included an active touring schedule. The bio provided with the release said Fitzgerald performed across the Southeast in 2025 and joined fellow artist Celeste Hart on a national tour, helping broaden her audience. The retirement announcement suggests that period of rapid musical growth will now give way to a larger commitment to sports.

No additional statement was included about whether Fitzgerald plans to continue producing music privately, make guest appearances, or maintain a role in the music industry outside touring. The release framed the move as a retirement from music and touring rather than a temporary hiatus.

The announcement connects two areas that have defined Fitzgerald’s public profile: entertainment and football. Her biography says her connection to the sport goes back to her father’s long coaching career, and that she has already been involved in sports entrepreneurship through Richmond.

For the DFL, the news arrives as the league enters another expansion phase and as Richmond seeks to defend its championship. For music audiences, it represents the exit of a performer whose public rise was closely tied to digital virality and live energy. For now, the immediate effect is clear: according to the press release, Fitzgerald is leaving music behind and shifting her attention to the Capitols as Season 6 approaches.
