Hidaiyah "Yaya" Bey is a musician from Queens, New York, whose sound fuses elements of R&B, hip-hop, jazz, and dance into something entirely her own. OFFKEY author Alice Vyvyan-Jones had the honour of sitting down with Hidaiyah ahead of her debut Berlin show at Privatklub to speak about her upcoming album "do it afraid".
Somewhere between gothic-tinged soul and bluesy folk music, singer and guitarist Cat Clyde takes her place. Influenced by classic blues artists like Leadbelly, iconic soul singer Etta James, and rock legend Janis Joplin, she creates her interpretation. We caught the Cat backstage at her recent Berlin gig to chat about touring life, green rooms, and her second record 'Hunter's Trance'.
