Zimbabwe’s musical prodigy, Kyla Blac, recently made her international debut on the Listening Room an esteemed online segment that broadcasts to an awe-inspiring audience of over 1,3 million subscribers on the Sofar Sounds YouTube channel.

Sofar Sounds is a global community of music curators and artists putting together intimate live music shows in unique spaces around the world.

The video performance marks a significant leap in her burgeoning career.

The genesis of this journey started earlier this year when Kyla was handpicked by the international platform and global community that unites emerging artists and music enthusiasts through intimate shows across more than 460 cities worldwide – for their series launch in Zimbabwe.

Renowned for curating unique live music experiences, previous artists who have performed at Sofar shows before they were famous include Billie Eilish, Ed Sheeran, Jack Harlow, and YEBBA.

With the arrival of Sofar Sounds Harare – the platform expanded its commitment to fostering authenticity and artistic brilliance.

In August, Kyla took to the stage at Ela The Garden, a renowned creative hub known for its delectable Greek-Zimbabwean fusion cuisine, alongside fellow singer Panache and poet Muvheneki, culminating in a day of artistic synergy.

Kyla’s profound connection with the audience and exceptional talent did not go unnoticed.

This recognition led to her being selected to produce a show for Sofar Sounds’ Listening Room.

The five-song performance features four original songs, Nobody But You, Obsession, Problem, and DND (Do Not Disturb), a charting track that the artist wrote, performed, and produced.

In the Listening Room, the cover of Canadian singer Tate McRae’s Greedy, completes the set recorded on location in the outskirts of Bulawayo's Cowdray Park suburb.

The video was masterfully captured and directed by Dropout Films in an artistic collaboration that showcases the immense talent pooling together in Bulawayo's vibrant creative scene.

Kyla is not just a trailblazing musician; she is a multifaceted talent, excelling as a singer, songwriter, producer, and choreographer.

With a solid foundation in music and piano studies at the prestigious Zimbabwe Academy of Music, Kyla consistently demonstrates her unparalleled storytelling abilities.

Her music, including ‘Done’, the most recent collaboration with Nigeria’s afro-pop star – Raebel for Ejoya Class Of 23: Soundtrack To Our Future.

The seven-track album released at the beginning of the month is available for streaming on all major digital platforms.

However, it is her debut on the Listening Room that is revealing a star power, who remains dedicated to pushing creative boundaries while staying rooted in her Zimbabwean heritage.
