Mojito (Heatcliff Remix)

The road to stardom is paved with moments — some good and some bad — and Kayla knows them all too well. As the UK singer/songwriter readies her latest EP #ThisIsKaylaMusic, she’s on the precipice of something major. Stay tuned.
 
By age 13, Kayla’s true vocal power was starting to show, as the teen raised on Prince, Sade, and Kate Bush would write songs and poetry in her room, crafting makeshift demos of loose vocals she’d record. A year later she joined London’s famed BRIT School, sharing classrooms with the likes of Amy Winehouse, Adele, and Jessie J, as the influx of BRIT School talent was just beginning.
 
“The way into the industry was either to join a girl band or start doing music I didn’t want to do,” Kayla says of her formative industry years. Being of mixed heritage (her Mom is English and Irish & her Dad is Jamaican and South American Indian), her aesthetic also played into the majors’ perception of her sound. They listened with their eyes. “People looked at me and automatically expected me to be an R&B singer,” she says.
 
An initial 2013 EP release didn't achieve the direction that Kayla wanted. Adam Wake brought Kayla to the Spotlight 87 Entertainment producer songwriting team of Brian Vibberts and Alex Houton, who helped her reinvent her direction. Vibberts has won five Grammy Awards and has worked with Michael Jackson and Mariah Carey, and Houton has developed artists for several major labels. Wake, Houton, and Vibberts formed Metro 3 Entertainment and signed Kayla to their new record label as their first artist.
 
The result is her follow-up EP #ThisIsKaylaMusic, a five-track introduction to whom Kayla Griffiths really is. The lead single “Mojito” is a dark, powerful track penned by Kayla and Houton upon her observing the reckless behavior of a friend. “As people we’ve all been through times where we’ve felt pretty crappy, and we’ve all done it — you go out with your friends, just get drunk, party the night away and just try to forget all of the stuff going on around you,” she explains. “It’s like a bullet wound that you’re trying to drink away. It’s the craziness we feel when we’re trying to anchor ourselves to one emotion.”
