Kayka Yano

Kayka's earliest memories of music are of the music boxes and wind up music dolls that played classical music she listened to as a small child. So by age 8 when she began piano lessons, she already had a great love of beautiful instrumental music. In her teens and early 20s, she studied classical piano works of Beethoven, Chopin, and Bach with the late concert pianist Ludmila Kent. But her teens were an energetic time where she started playing guitar and singing and she spent years thereafter playing rock music as a singer songwriter and performing in cover bands and acoustic acts. Although she continued to play instrumental piano, it was mostly at home. As years went on, she discovered a love of New Age piano music by composers like Ludovico Einaudi as a place of peace and solace. She taught herself to play a repertoire of these pieces and went to new age music concerts to relax and for personal fulfillment. Then after years of writing and releasing songs as a singer songwriter, her creative energy turned to the beautiful instrumental piano style she embraced and she became inspired to compose her own piano pieces. She continues her passion to compose and actively records her music for distribution on all streaming platforms.
