About this Artist

Artistically poised pianist Kayla Waters is a chart-topping recording artist, composer, producer and CEO of PuriKey Productions. After signing a new record deal with Shanachie Records, Kayla victoriously released her brand new musical offering Presence, a life-giving creative work alluding to the beauty of the ocean and God’s abundant love. Beautifully composed and eloquently written, Presence is a stunning addition to her pianistic repertoire following albums Coevolve and Apogee. As a five-time Billboard and Mediabase number one artist (with singles: I Am, Zephyr, Full Bloom, Open Portals and Undulation), Kayla made history by becoming the first female pianist to reign atop the charts for six consecutive weeks. Laced with purpose, the spotlight has humbly created opportunities for Kayla to play and perform with music legends and prominent recording artists including Stevie Wonder, Patrice Rushen, Avery*Sunshine, Maysa Leak, Sheila E., Dave Koz and her cherished father (iconic jazz saxophonist), Kim Waters to name a few. Kayla has shared her mesmerizing artistry all over the United States (and abroad in Europe and Africa) at countless jazz festivals, theaters, prestigious performing arts centers, and acclaimed national television platforms. With aplomb, Kayla is elated to be an official Yamaha Artist and a Voting Member of the Grammy’s Recording Academy. Spiritually grounded, she revels in the opportunity to magnanimously share her God-given gifts of music on each and every stage she graces. Firm in her faith and wholesomely aware of her unique passion-purpose, Kayla never loses sight of God orchestrating her every move.
