They consist of a 3-piece live section; Matt on Guitar, Tom Y on Bass, and Tom H on Drums, as well as the 2 vocalists, Natty and Aina.
All band members individually had accomplished careers as musicians, coming from different musical backgrounds and forming Kaya to create a new sound for the masses. Their songs consistently combine powerful and addictive hooks, catchy melodies, and thought-provoking lyrics.
Natty’s career began over a decade ago with the launch of UK HipHop label Defcon Records, a label focusing on the then largely undiscovered talent on the UK HipHop circuit. He has had a strong career as a solo artist and is well liked amongst the HipHop fraternity and music media, both for his talents and his charity work.
Guitarist Matt plays a central role within the group and has a truly amazing energy and passion for the music. Finding success as a remixer in the past, he contributes to a lot of the band’s song writing and production sound and is certainly the driving force behind the band.
Songstress Aina has worked with a vast array of talented acts and producers over the years and featured alongside both Natty and Matt in a previous band that was voted BBC Radio 1’s Unsigned Band of the Year. The trio joined up to form a new band Kaya with the arrival of the 2 Toms to complete the line-up. Aina brings amazing vocal melodies and captive lyrics to the band which compliments Natty’s vocal style perfectly.
Tom Y is a true musician who can play many instruments and has significant skills both with playing and recording music. His role is Bass but contributes heavily towards the song-writing and production of the band alongside Matt.
Tom H brings a powerful percussive force to the group as a precision drummer, tightly holding together the rhythm section with Matt and Tom Y. He can play many styles and a typical Kaya stage show will see him knocking out a whole range of rhythms including live drum n bass, which never fails to get the crowd jumping. He has featured in a variety of bands in the past of various styles and brings a rhythmic stability to Kaya’s live music.
Devoting a lot of time to charity causes such as Music4Children and Task Brasil, Kaya relentlessly helps to raise funds through live performance as an ongoing long-term cause. Natty, Aina and Tom Y founded and continue to run Defcon Workshops, an initiative to help educate teenagers in musical skills such as composing music, production, lyric-writing and more. So successful has this been that vocalist Natty was appointed as an Ambassador of the Prince's Trust as a result.
2010 sees the dawn of a new era for Kaya with the release of their debut album 'Look Beneath The Surface', with Kaya's lead track and first single 'Rat Race' due for release over the summer.
