Biography

Pronounced Kai 
 ~~~ 
 Caye is an artist/producer/songwriter with an evocative falsetto and a gift for melodic improvisation. Based in Santa Monica, he’s been steadily winning fans across the US and around the world since breaking onto the scene in 2015. Building on his classical training by experimenting with jazz, hip hop, calypso, and reggae, Caye defies genre to create a signature sound that is all his own. Inspired by the creative freedom of Bon Iver, the soul-moving rhythms of Bob Marley, and the lyrical genius of Kanye West, Caye creates music that’s as captivating as it is technically complex. In 2020, he set out on an artistic exploration, traveling to remote regions of California with his instruments, art supplies, and a band of creatives. The last 2+ years culminated in a full-length LP that thrives on headphones and speakers but is best experienced when improvised live—in the same method it was written. Grounded in his love for the steel drum, “We Love” explores Caye’s excellence across instruments like the didgeridoo, piano, guitar, and bass that combines to create music that’s emotionally engaging and spectacularly cinematic. 
 Caye's collected over 100 million streams, had his work supported by Zane Lowe on Beats 1 and Spotify's "Fresh Finds", been featured in Billboard, Complex, Ones to Watch, This Song is Sick, LA Weekly, and more, and has written and produced for the likes of Alessia Cara, Meghan Trainor, Abhi the Nomad, Disney, and many more.
