Kayla Carrington

Hiring me would mean a full house for a night of fun & moving music. My improvisational abilities allow me to play anything. So, whether its a jazzy dinner or an rnb pop club, I've got you covered. I come with my own sound system and am a self contained solo act.

Additionally, I am available to play my original music which lyrically centers environmental justice. The perfect entertainment for conferences, work retreats, workshops, block parties, festivals, etc.

Kayla Carrington is a West Coast, U.S based musical artist with an exciting act that includes sax, rap, and dance.

Kayla's lyrics playfully & intentionally call on environmental justice, activism, climate change education, and visual art to mobilize today's youngest generations. Carrington considers Lauryn Hill, Wale, and The Internet among their biggest influences. At age 11, Kayla took to the alto saxophone and within a decade was playing gigs with The Thelonious Monk Institute, touring festivals in France, Spain, and the Netherlands, and recording for the soundtrack of Netflix Original's "Motown Magic".

Featuring production from Dru Freeman and Vikki T, Kayla's first collection titled Environmental Studies EP hit streaming platforms in June 2019, a year after their first poetry book, Each Step In, was published. Together, these two projects capture the essence of what it is like to grow up into a world of known environmental negligence, and what it looks like to spread health & thriving energy through it all.

You can book Kayla Carrington as a solo act or jazz quartet. We provide the sound system (if needed), as well as a tailored setlist and chill vibe.
