Kaya Stewart (born 28 February 2000) is an English-Dutch singer and songwriter. She is the daughter of the musician Dave Stewart.[1] She released a single "In Love with" in 2015.

Early life

Kaya Stewart was born in London, but was raised in Los Angeles, California, with her half-brothers, Sam and Django. She also has a sister Indya. Her mother is the Dutch photographer Anoushka Fisz and her father is the songwriter-producer-musician Dave Stewart, notably of the 1980s band Eurythmics.

Growing up in a musical family, Stewart constantly performed for her family and friends. She has said that she is greatly inspired by her father's friend Annie Lennox. Lennox was a former partner in Eurythmics and mentored Kaya.[2]

Music career

Her first single, "In Love with a Boy", from her first album for Warner Bros. Records was released 10 July 2015.[3][4] The song set a record for being added to a total of 85 pop stations at launch, the most ever for a new artist.[5] In August 2016, she released her album, Kaya Stewart.[6]

Stewart and Jamie Lidell formed a pop project L.I.Y.A. and debuted a video for their first electro-soul-pop track "California" in August 2018.[7]

In 2023, Kaya appeared on the 21st season of American Idol, withdrawing from the Hollywood round due to illness.[8]
