Kaysien releases new EP

UK-based artist Kaysien is a multi-instrumentalist and producer who’s dined with Beatles legend George Harrison and once bought Elton John a curry. Aside from his tales with the greats of the music industry, with his own music he spins sensational, grooving compositions lifted by his expert musicianship.

Making his entrance in 2020, he dropped his debut single “Kacha”, which he’s since followed up with a string of stellar single releases. Now he brings us his latest work with his new EP titled Elements, a project that sees him venture into new sonic territory with four new instrumental tracks.

Offering an introspective dive into self-identity via the aptly titled tracks “Air”, “Earth”, “Water” and “Fire”, across Elements Kaysien shares a reflective journey that draws inspiration from his mixed-race heritage. Written, performed and produced entirely by himself in his west London studio, Kaysien showcases his expansive creative vision with two solo piano pieces cut between two rhythmic jams that fuse Caribbean rhythms with punchy piano-led grooves.

Having earned extensive support all over the UK, with regular radio airtime of his tracks, Kaysien is set to unveil the next phase of his musical endeavour with a tour across the country with his band Kaysien & The BCB.

Commenting on the EP, he shares, “This EP, Artistically, is the most important work I’ve created in my career. At some point over the last few years I somehow crossed over into a new level of music. As a self taught musician and composer this was a wild realisation. I can attribute this shift to the personal work I have done on myself, the sense of letting go and creating space within myself. I’ve matured as an Artist and as a person and I’m now hitting a new level of expression that wouldn’t have been achievable if I hadn’t done the inner work.”

Adding, “Self-Identity is at the core of these tracks. Learning more (through introspection) about my Ancestral roots in the Caribbean, Africa, South East Asia, Europe and Britain had settled a discussion with myself of where I fit in in terms of cultural and musical expression… which is everywhere and nowhere and so somewhere in-between. What this lends to me is a unique perspective and a deeper understanding of the communicative powers of music. Each of the four tracks expresses an Element of identity, whether that’s through a particular rhythm, the tone of an instrument or the arrangement choices. It is also a way to express artistic integrity.”
