Kayla Bliss

Brooklyn born with Jamaican blood best describes the places from whence Kayla Bliss comes. She rides reggae riddims like Sanchez or Marcia Griffiths, still taking inspiration from legends like Anita Baker and Roberta Flack. She writes her songs, taking cues from Donny Hathaway and Stevie Wonder. Lastly, she gives it a modern bounce, like classic Brandy or Mary J. Blige. A lot of singers wouldn’t be able to deliver a melting pot of styles like this, but Kayla Bliss does it with ease.

Kayla went from singing in local talent shows and church in Brooklyn as a child, to opening for Buju Banton and Super Cat at 18. Somewhere in between there she gained experience on great stages like Radio City Music Hall, Madison Square Garden, The Cipriani, and Lincoln Center. After a childhood packed with classical vocal training and musical theory, Kayla took every musical boundary she knew and broke it.

Kayla struggled to find a musical home early in her career. She was bouncing back and forth between heart-clenching R&B ballads, bass-heavy lovers rock , and beat-driven hip hop. Kayla built a fanbase by producing melodic masterpieces and female anthems on her first mixtapes ‘Face The Music’ and ‘HeadPhones & Halos”. Her first two mixtapes granted her a heavy Internet presence, and got rave reviews from notable websites and blogs.

Finally in 2011 Kayla teamed up with the legendary Xterminator Productions for her worldwide debut. Headed by Phillip ‘Fattis’ Burrell and, heir to the throne, Kareem ‘Remus’ Burrell, Kayla proceeds to lace airwaves with smooth melodies and lush harmonies backed by the rhythm and bass of the unstoppable duo, Sly & Robbie. Now that she has been dubbed ‘Audio Angel’ (also the name of her highly anticipated EP), soon she will step foot on every stage for fans of every genre with true crossover grace.

With a whimsical, loving, musical style, Ms. Kayla Bliss is leading the new world music movement.
