Kaya Byinshii is a born and raised Rwandese singer/songwriter who strongly believes in the spiritual power of Music. Her music is a fusion of urban and folk that results in unique sounds. Her sultry voice does not only bring connection with her audience, but also brings many topics avoided by the society to the table. Growing up as a singer in church, she later on joined a band at her University, Viva Musica Band. Not so long after, she won a grant from Goethe Institute to produce a short video, addressing the perception of differences that normalizes bias, stigma and racism. The piece is a combination of poetry, music and contemporary dance through video. On October 8th, 2020, she released her first debut EP, NYABYINSHI, which loosely translates to one who owns many, under Green Ferry Music entertainment company. NYABYINSHI is a diverse musical style, the song's themes call for self-consciousness and self-love. A year later, Kaya Byinshii released her second EP, 'WE DON'T KNOW LOVE' a Live Acoustic EP that questions the real meaning of ‘love’. She is now promoting her first studio album, UKWIYUBURURA *skin peeling of a snake*, a compilation of pieces about the endless human process of rebirth. The album was released on September 28th, 2022, via Green Ferry Music. Kaya Byinshii was a Finalist in Prix Decouvertes – RFI 2021 and has had an honor of Opening the Festival du Film Francophone d'Angoulême 2022 and looking forward to much more.
