“’Outrageous’ is my story of the acceptance, love, and strength that followed me out of the closet.” – Kailaya

These creative outlets emphasized the importance of being comfortable in expressing the truest version of herself. Utilizing her past experiences and talents, Kailaya is creating a platform where she can share her stories and emotions with others. Her soulful music is inspired by hit RnB artists such as Daniel Caesar and Snoh Aalegra, providing an intimate view into her strongest emotions.
