KHYA (pronounced KIYAH) (she/her) is a Chilean-Australian transdisciplinary artist and performer based in Naarm. Skillfully blending her love of sensual 90s R&B with her dreamy siren energy brings an undeniable essence of queer and dark femininity to her sound. KHYA’s breathy and angelic voice invites audiences into her fantasy, creating a stage presence that is captivating and otherworldly.

Over the last 18 months KHYA has been steadily expanding her community through live performances and SoundCloud demos. Alongside her music, KHYA is a valued member within the Australia LGBTQIA+ community as a core member of the House of Devine Ballroom House Collective, participating in Ballroom events across the country. Ballroom Culture was founded by Black and Latinx Fem Queens in New York, as a means to carve out space for expression and community, so KHYA’s work in Ballroom is a proud continuation of this legacy in so-called Australia.
