Kaysha is one of the most eclectic rappers and producers to work in places like the West indies, South America and Africa. He was born in Democratic Republic of Congo but immigrated to France with his parents at the age of seven. Kaysha is very well known for his first hit single which uses a sample from West Indian band Kassav’s Oul in a song called “Bounce Baby”, which introduced him to fans all over the world. The next year, he changed his whole style to record a more urban album called “Worldwidechico” with a duo with Wu Tang Clan’s Killah Priest. His latest hit to date is “On dit quoi” a huge hit all around Africa, from his latest album “It’s all love” released in his own label Sushiraw.  Kaysha is also a successful music producer. He produced songs for the most known artists in the Afro-Caribbean scene, including Passi, Solaar, Jacob Desvarieux, Soumia, Lynnsha, Elizio, Ludo, etc. He gained new fans all around the world by doing literally thousands of shows around Africa, the West Indies and anywhere his feet could take him. Originally a shy composer, Kaysha found himself on stage with a microphone after winning a beauty contest in Belgium. From then, he toured six years and produced tracks for many people in France, including big names. Fustrated by the ways of french major labels and them not believing in his conception of music, he followed a friend in the West Indies. That's where it all began. Kaysha has been nominated to the prestigious MTV Europe video awards and was victorious three times in the prestigious “All African KORA awards” as Best African Artist & Best Diaspora artist. Kaysha has released four solo albums and is the succesful CEO of Sushiraw entertainment. Check Kaysha out in concert on May 19, 2007 at Saint Denis (metro line 13).

Kaysha is definitely on our hot list! This Afro-Caribbean musician is the perfect blend between kizomba, rhumba, zouglou, zouk, calypso, r&b, and hip-hop. Since his first show in 1992, Kaysha have been constantly defining his own a sound, and at the same time changing it so much it makes you confused. But one thing that's never changed? Kaysha's appealing sound!
