Kiyoné

As a mixed California kid, Kiyoné’s heritage covers 5 continents and her name- which comes from her Japanese roots- means “pure sound” or “holy voice”. Growing up in a musical family, she was immersed in music, theater, dancing, and graduated from a performing arts high school in Orange County, CA. Singing, writing, and performing has naturally become her purest form of expression and self love. The pandemic created the perfect time to begin writing and recording with her mentor, Multi-Platinum Producer, Jae Chong- which has led to writing dozens of songs for top artists worldwide, and voice “Sara” in the Nightbird Society video game featuring 3 original songs. At 16, her first debut single, “Sugar Honey Iced Tea”, released on the Saviyn- Voyage.01 EP in 2020. Since then, she’s continued to work on projects with Jae, as wells as Grammy Nominated Producer, StoneBridge, with multiple artists for Project Africa, and on her own album. Kiyoné’s sound pulls from her favorite genres: Rap, Pop, R&B, Pop Alternative, & World Music. Influences and favorites: @Whitney Houston, @Adele, @Bruno Mars, @Janet Jackson, @Rihanna, @Doja Cat, @SZA, @Etta James, @Ariana Grande, @Beyoncé, & Japanese Rock.
