The south London born and raised artist, leans on a heavy musical background; with her mother being a reggae artist and father, a former DJ. Khai recognises herself as being deeply in tune with her Caribbean roots, and finds herself incorporating reggae-type melodies into her music as well as drawing from modern genres, such as R'n'B, Soul, House and UK Garage. Musical influences such as Jill Scott and Erykah Badu, drive the soulful undertone; complementing the modern atmosphere felt in her music. An eclectic collection of Khai's influences is manifested directly through her distinctive sound. Along with her attention to melodic detail, Khai's honest lyrics and mellow tone make for an emotive vibe which finds a common place for any ear.
