Kayla Waters

Kayla V. Waters-Medley, is a passionate pianist, composer, producer and curator of PuriKey Productions. Planted in her creative giftings, Kayla digs her feet deep into holy ground with Anew, a harmonious and plush artistic offering. With grandeur, this musically rich work illustrates the unearthing and unlocking of fresh terrains of life with spiritual “keys” of splendor. Scribed with love, Anew is a stunning addition to her pianistic anthology following Presence, Coevolve, and Apogee. With aplomb, Kayla is elated to be an official Yamaha Artist and a voting member of the Grammy's Recording Academy.

Sweetly kissed with success, Kayla beautifully made history by becoming the first female pianist to reign atop the contemporary jazz charts for multiple weeks and is a seven-time Billboard and Mediabase number one artist. Robed with eminence, Kayla has been blessed to play with a bouquet of music legends including Stevie Wonder, Patrice Rushen, The Jacksons, Regina Belle, Avery*Sunshine, Sheila E., Dave Koz, Jonathan Butler and her cherished father {iconic jazz saxophonist}, Kim Waters. Kayla has bountifully shared her heartfelt artistry all over the globe and across continents {North America, Europe and Africa} at countless jazz festivals, theaters, prestigious performing arts centers, national television platforms, and even playing within the oceans and mountains of God’s creation as her most sacred stage.

As Keeper of the Keys, Kayla eloquently embraces her pure gift as a musical scribe. She has a lofty understanding of key signatures and orchestral textures that gingerly make her mellifluous compositions whisper softly on the heartstrings of all who listen. Kayla’s artistic pieces {often resembling mini-symphonies} musically paint the fragrance of heaven and her lush harmonies create an abundance of sweet-smelling aromas. Although Kayla holds a piano performance degree from Howard University {Summa Cum Laude}, she audaciously professes the majestic beauty of the Holy Spirit is what truly anoints her fingertips at the piano. Spiritually grounded, Kayla revels in sharing her magnanimous gifts faithfully {and fruitfully} on every stage she graces. God’s presence is the undulating rhythm and holy abode of her heart.
