Kyanté

Growing up in the small town of Gibson, Louisiana, Kyanté (KEY—AHN—TAY) has always had big dreams. It wasn't until 2016 she would be able to make her dreams become a reality when she moved to the city of New Orleans. Kyanté has been singing professionally all of her life from doing talent shows and theatre at a young age to pursuing a music career in college to now being an emerging R&B/soul artist. She made a name for herself by showing up and showing out in the New Orleans music scene. Open mic nights and being a background singer for notable artists in the city established a foundation for the artist Kyanté is today. With experience in classical vocal training and theatre, she comes alive on stage! She has performed over 60 shows and still counting! She has performed at multiple festivals such as the infamous Taste of Soul Fest in Atlanta, GA, and Essence Fest in New Orleans, LA! You may catch her at your local music venue playing with her band Kyanté & the Krü at venues such as The Fillmore in New Orleans, The Hyde, Cafe Istanbul, The House of Blues, etc. Her hit single "Cloud 9" aired on New Orleans' #1 station for Hip-hop and R&B, Q93 for over 10 consecutive weeks! With this milestone on the emerging artist's resume came many other blessings such as interviews, shows, features, and official music videos. She has also performed for prestigious events such as singing the National Anthem for the New Orleans Pelicans in November 2022, being featured on AspireTV’s Jam Session with Syleena Johnson June 2023 for Black Music Month, and also touring with SoFar Sounds starting in New York City! Not only has her music reached listeners across the United States but also in the United Kingdom! Her other hit single "Crown" has been gracing the UK's airwaves on BBC Radio. Kyanté continues to grow in her craft and thrive on stage! You can check out Kyanté's work here including her debut EP, "Aquarius SZN" and follow her @kyantemusic <3
