Guitarist

London

Public liability insurance of £1 million

My name's Kaya I'm a singer/songwriter and musician based in London I mainly play electric guitar however I also play harmonica, ukulele and bass. I can play various genres of music although I'd say the genres I specialise in are: Blues, Blues-rock, Psychedelic rock, Hard rock, Classic rock, Funk, Funk-rock, Jazz, Soul, R&B, Psychedelic Soul, Folk, Folk-rock and Country. I have a very good understanding of music, I have plenty of experience in session work, gigging and teaching/tutoring. I attended City & Islington college and did a National BTEC diploma in Contemporary music and performance. I'm very disciplined, consistent and patient when it comes to what I do, I'd say I'm a bubbly, easy going individual who’s organised and respectful, so if you're looking for somebody with those attributes feel free to get in touch. If you'd like some more links to my work, references or more information don't hesitate to contact me. Thank you for your time, Kind regards Kaya

5 out of 5

Kaya has played at 26 Leake Street several times, both solo and within a band. He has been kind and flexible enough to support solo vocalists also, playing brilliantly demonstrating huge versatility, and a great level of skill. I have personally watched him silence a room with his brilliant finger work, and expertly crafted riffs. It’s a pleasure to have him play at the venue any time.

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

I always do my best to make sure an event runs smoothly, if your timing does change after you've booked me just notify me and we can rearrange this or whatever it may you’d like to change.

How much time do you need to set up?

I’d say it usually takes me roughly 10-15, it can be quicker however I say this just to be safe, ideally though I like to set up anywhere between 30-60 minutes before the set just so everything is prepared and ready.

My set list consists of covers, originals and even improvisations, I'm more than happy to discuss which songs you'd want for your event.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

I can learn songs before the event.
