Interactive Electronic Press Kit

Kaila is a Canadian singer, song writer and musician.

Her style is best described as a mixed blend between

“70’s disco soul and rock edge.” Her music seeks to

find that perfect balance of harmonies between the

fusion of old school dance (Disco, Funk, Pop, Rock)

and new school music (Electro, EDM, Dance). What

separates her from the rest of the pretty girls that

can sing is her musical studies: Kaila studied

classical and jazz theory with an emphasis on Vocal

Techniques, Music Business and Live Sound Set-up.

While pursuing her solo career Kaila is equally busy

performing on a regular basis as a singer, DJ, and

keyboard player at home in Montreal and Toronto’s

most elite private parties with her multitude of

party bands. On the international scene Kaila has

performed in Germany, Italy, Denmark, Morocco,

and China.

Kaila is the type of girl who isn’t afraid of a challenge. Always willing to plunge into

the unknown and experiment with new things, her “why not” and “don’t give up”

attitude landed her a coveted spot on “La Voix” (the French-Canadian TV version of

the immensely successful American TV Show “The Voice”).

She is currently recording her first full album with BTB Music, which consists of

producer Sorin Pavelesco and rapper/songwriter Mike Kapoor (aka Mr Bolly). Look

out and expect more to come from this true, strong, passionate, funky girl.
