Where dance and fashion meet music…Where poetry and philosophy are united in all the shades of the black-and-white piano palette…Where the silhouette touches a hungry canvas…Where the soft velvet of the voice is intertwined with the silky strings of interlaced melodies…From this rich and delicate matrix of artistry, Kaiya is continuously born.
Her creativity takes its inspiration from old romantic french movies and performances by Serge Gainsbourg…Songs by Nina Simone and Amy Winehouse…The femininity of Marilyn Monroe and Sophia Loren…The elegant sophistication of Antonio Marras and Rocco Barocco’s fashion design…Renaissance and Surrealist art…Klimt’s gilded paintings and Degas’s dancers…the classical ballet and poetry of the 20th century…The tenderness of falling leaves…The soft brilliance of sunsets.
Q:When you decide it’s time to make a new record, is that more exciting or stressful?
It’s beyond any excitement.. like falling in love again… You don’t know where it’s gonna take you and what direction it’s gonna turn… It’s a new untold and totally unknown story. It’s a beautiful moment of your life with a lot of work! Totally like a relationship :)))
