Asian Tones × Solstice Sounds Showcase

Kaisha: Born in Malaysia, the Brighton-based singer and songwriter Kaisha’s modern R&B sound is influenced by eclectic music digested throughout her upbringing, growing up in a family of musicians.

Futuristic neo-soul, jazz-esque breakdowns and pop grooves can all be heard in Kaisha’s growing catalogue of music.

Naya Yeira: There’s a unique quality to the music of Naya Yeira, the London-based, Jakarta-born 23-year-old singer-songwriter. Laced with R’n’B, pop and hip-hop references, her soulful vocals, celestial aesthetic candid lyricism converge in an ethereal, genreblending sound. “Musical influences like Doja Cat, Billie Eilish, Tierra Whack inspire me,” she says, “while I’m drawn sonically to heady, other-worldly and dreamlike qualities.” Naya’s artistry is shaped by a lifelong immersion in a rich mix of cross border musical cultures, woven through her distinctive, addictive new tracks.

Tara Flanagan: Tara Flanagan is a UK up and coming artist of Irish – Filipino descent, originally from Poole, now living in London.
