A British R&B singer-songwriter known for her smooth, soulful voice and hit singles like "Do You Mind" and "One Dance" with Drake. Her music often explores themes of love and relationships.
Kyla Reid, known simply as Kyla, is a British house music singer who rose to fame with her iconic song "Do You Mind," which was later sampled in Drake's 2016 international hit "One Dance." With her powerful vocals and infectious energy, Kyla has become a household name in the UK funky subgenre.
Kyla's journey to stardom began with her feature on the Crazy Cousinz UK funky song "Do You Mind," released in 2008. Although the song peaked at number 48 on the UK Singles Chart in 2009, it caught the attention of DJ Paleface, who was impressed by Kyla's voice after seeing her in a video for the song "Be What I Wanna Be."
In early 2016, Kyla was contacted by Drake's production team regarding the use of her 2008 song "Do You Mind" in a new afrobeats and dancehall-infused song. The result was "One Dance," a chart-topping hit that reached number 1 in 15 different countries, including the UK, US, and Canada. The song's success can be attributed to Kyla's catchy hook and smooth vocals, which added a unique touch to the track.
The success of "One Dance" allowed Kyla to reboot her career, with guest appearances in several 2016 British summer music festivals, including the Wireless Festival. She was later featured on English producer Naughty Boy's single "Should've Been Me," which peaked at number 61 on the UK Singles Chart.
Kyla is married to Errol Reid, also known as DJ Paleface, one half of the Crazy Cousinz production team. She has two sons and has been open about putting her music career on hold to start a family. Prior to her music career, Kyla worked as an ESL teacher. She has been involved in various charitable initiatives, using her platform to support causes close to her heart.
