Kiya is an established singer/songwriter and performer in Guernsey's local music scene, sometimes venturing out to its neighbouring islands, like Sark, as well as the UK.  

She takes plenty of influence from musicians like British folk artist Kate Rusby, pop rock legend Avril Lavigne, and 90s alt rock bands Incubus and The Cranberries.

Since beginning her musical journey in 2014, she's crafted a multi genre sound that compliments the emotional tales that she presents in her songs. Her tunes inspire deep thought and encompass you in a floating bubble of relaxation.

"Chirrup" Latest EP Available Now! This luscious mini-album is brimming with natural imagery, a journey of Kiya maturing, heartbreak, and, of course, a healthy dose of tension.
