Following her residency at Soho House Mumbai, the artist and actor talks to Praachi Raniwala about her latest dancehall-infused single and what’s next for her
By Praachi Raniwala Photography by Ishaan Nair
Singer, DJ and actor Ambika Nayak started releasing her own music under the name Kayan in 2020. Six singles later, she’s already amassed a strong following. We invited the singer to Soho House Mumbai to complete a week-long artist residency, where she wrote her latest dancehall-infused single, ‘On My Own’. ‘The song is about being by yourself and being absolutely OK with that,’ she says. ‘It’s an amazing feeling, and one that I’ve worked on for a long time. If you’re comfortable by yourself, everything else is easier.’
Kayan has always been surrounded by music. Her mother is a Hindustani classical vocalist, and taught music classes from their family home. Kayan herself is also classically trained as a dancer and singer, and went on to study at music school in Mumbai.

‘My classical training really helps with my voice. I will never forget what my teachers taught me when I was learning classical,’ she says. ‘The training is super rigorous. I wouldn’t say there is a direct influence in terms of sound, but in the sense of discipline, it has had a big impact.’
We catch up with Kayan to hear how her residency went, the creative process behind her latest single, and what’s coming up. Listen to the conversation above.
