Kaiyah Mercedes tops music charts from the land down under. The Melbourne, Australia based dream pop artist has released music to various streaming platforms over the last couple years and on Spotify alone she has over 29,000 monthly listeners at the time of posting this article. And she’s only 17! I know some indie artists that would sell their teeth for those kinds of numbers. 🙂
Kaiyah Mercedes Bio
Kaiyah Mercedes’ unique ability to express her experiences through art can be attributed in part to her Autism and ADHD. Although only diagnosed in November 2021 at the age of 15, her debut album “Hindsight” reveals a clear theme of self-identity and understanding, and a candid portrayal of her struggles with mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Through her lyrics, Kaiyah offers a glimpse into her inner world and the complex emotions she experiences on a daily basis, making her music all the more powerful and relatable and sheds new light on her creative process, adding an extra layer of insight to her already impressive body of work.
