Kyla Imani, an 18 year-old singer, songwriter and actress is a new voice of young women who embody the power of Generation-Z. The New York City born performer, and NYU freshman, has deemed it necessary to use her multi-format platform in ways that extend beyond creating the average bubbly melody— and she does it all while remaining true to her most authentic self.
In 2014, at the age of 14, Kyla recreated Beyoncé’s “7/11” music video which went viral. Buzzfeed and MTV praised her ingenuity and imagination, and called the video “flawless.” BET followed suit, dubbing Kyla Imani a rising star with an extremely promising future. Shortly after, she released her very own Visual Ep called Sweet Tea, a 24-minute project composed of 5 songs connected by a storyline. In 2018, Kyla Imani showcased her soothingly raspy tone and effortless blend of Pop and R&B, with a hard-hitting display of Hip-Hop featuring Jay Critch on her popular hit single, “Sitting Up In My Room” and soon after, Kyla Imani dropped the banging and catchy bop, “Decline” featuring Deetranada. She has performed at big festivals such as Vidcon, and world renowned venues such as SOB’s in New York City.
While touring with DDG and other well-known Youtubers on the “Breaking The Internet Tour.” Kyla released her second EP, Uploading… She took the reins as the lead writer and producer on this project. She is now getting ready to release her new single, “It’s Not That Deep,” on April 10th, 2020. Her new sound is a blend of soothing R&B, upbeat trap, and a little bit of pop.
