• about •

Born a feral child of the midwest plains, Kalyja (Kah-lie-juh) wrote her first song at the age of eight with a purple crayon under the light of a midnight moon. Initiated by the wild darkness of that night, she captured the spark of her undomesticated soul. Every note of Kalyja’s music is a distillation of two+ decades of living beyond the boundaries of expectation and convention - a world where untamed fantasy pours into the empty cup of new possible realities. Her mesmerizing lyricism will incite the rebel in your bones and coerce your body to move and groove beyond its imagined limitations.

Her forthcoming mixtape of records, Persephone is a vibrant sonic collage - an altar space for staring down death, embracing queerness, tasting the taboo, and ultimately encouraging everyone to live and express to their fullest extent.

Kalyja’s genre-warping sound invokes the royal pantheon of pre-millennial singer-songwriters: Ani DiFranco’s unabashedness, Alanis Morissette’s raw power, Jewel’s gentle caress, and the shape-shifting majesty of her highness, Madonna. With an unapologetic pop edge, Kalyja’s songs can be either a bumping dance anthem or a sultry anarchist’s hymn - a celebration of radical permissiveness, unadulterated emotion, and jailbreaking the parts of ourselves we yearn to show the world but never have.
