About

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 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.

The soul singer 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, singer/songwriter Kyanté comes alive on stage! Kyanté has performed over 30 shows and still counting! She has performed at multiple festivals such as the infamous Taste of Soul Fest in Atlanta, GA. You may catch her at your local music venue playing with a band at venues such as The Fillmore in New Orleans, Cafe Istanbul, The House of Blues, etc.

Kyanté’s 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 independent 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! 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!
