Kaiya is a performing artist turned singer, songwriter, rapper and producer. Born on the westside of Detroit, she moved to Los Angeles to begin writing and producing her own style of music, which she affectionately describes as house-inspired, trap inspired R&B. She designs her soundscapes with repetitive melodies, gritty verses, minor chords and heavy 808s. She writes both raps and melodies and pays especially close attention to how her music translates to her stage performances, because of her background in theatre. Some of her favorite rappers are Andre 3000, Jay Z, Kendrick Lamar and Drake.
