Kiya Boyd

With a canvas as diverse as her influences, Kiya Boyd epitomizes the artistry born from embracing challenges as opportunities. Hailing from the Motor City of Detroit, she paints her musical landscape with the rich hues of her upbringing, steeped in the sounds of gospel and jazz. Modern influences of artists have left an indelible mark on her songs, but she has been able to integrate those sensibilities into her own unique body of work.

Venturing far from the conventional paths, Kiya sought a life beyond the confines of a typical 9 to 5, finding herself in the whirlwind world of K-Pop Idol training in Korea. Yet, her unwavering spirit clashed with the regimented system, leading her on a journey of self-discovery and resilience. Rising from the ashes, Kiya reclaimed her voice through platforms like YouTube, marking her return with the brilliant resonance of 'Away From You' and later unveiling her introspective 6-track EP, 'The Anxiety Diaries'.

Her lyrics, a chronicle of personal triumphs and tribulations, resonate with a raw authenticity that invites listeners to find solace and connection in her music. Through her artistry, Kiya invites audiences into her world, offering a glimpse of the emotions that shape her journey. Though inherently private, Kiya embraces vulnerability as a means of fostering connection, inviting all who listen to join her on this transformative journey.

Kiya’s newest single, “Do Not Disturb (DND)” is out now.
