Kayla Kavanagh is a solo artist with a twist. The 29 year old Irish singer/songwriter performs live with an array of instruments, wires and technology, taking the audience on a journey from simple acoustic music to full technology-led electronica. The music graduate recently qualified with an MA in Digital Performance, and is now recording her debut album, fusing her traditional roots with live music technology.

Renowned for her outdoor gigs from her VW Kampervan, Kayla's unique musical abilities allow her to become a 'one woman band'. Equally at home on acoustic guitar or with a stage full of technology, Kayla's live performances feature numerous instruments, including keyboard, electric violin, guitar, flute, hammered dulcimer, delay/looping pedals and vocoder.

Kayla is currently working on her debut solo album with Engineer/Producer Nigel Pease with whom she also writes music for film and theatre. Her orchestral composition 7/4 a secret was selected for performance at the 2007 RMA Postgraduate Conference.

Debut Single and Album

Kayla's debut single Fallen is due for release in May, in conjunction with the start of her UK tour. She has recently been featured on BBC Radio and on The Lost Show podcast introducing her single.

The album Stranger than Fiction will be launched at the Edinburgh Festival in August 2008. This summer Kayla will be touring the UK both in the Kampervan and live on stage, listed in full on the Tours Page.
