Meet Georgi Kay

Today we’d like to introduce you to Georgi Kay.

With love for creating and looping electronic beats, bass, synths, and vocal chops – GEORGI KAY is a 25-year-old British-Australian artist based in LA who has received multiple awards for her original work, songwriting and collaborations over the years.

She has won both an ARIA award, multiple APRA awards and received a Grammy nomination for her song “In My Mind” with Swedish House Mafia’s Axwell. Of which the latest 2018 remix by Dynoro has reached over 150 million streams, reached #1 on Spotify, Apple Music, and Shazam in over 12 markets along with sitting in the Spotify Top 50 in over 40 countries.

GEORGI’s voice has featured in numerous DJ sets worldwide by some of music’s biggest names, and she has collaborated with international EDM/dance artists including Tiesto, Kaskade, Lipless, Matt Nash, Faruk Sabanci and many more.

Along with EDM collaborations, GEORGI has also acted in and written for several films and TV series (Jane Campion’s Golden Globe & Emmy Award-winning ‘Top Of The Lake’, Alex Garcia’s ‘Residue’ & JD Dillard’s ‘SLEIGHT’ & upcoming feature film ‘SWEETHEART’), often offering her voice and original songs as main titles or featured throughout.

Since relocating to LA, GEORGI’s songwriting skills and capabilities have been recognized by three of the biggest songwriting competitions in the world (International Songwriting Competition, the Vanda & Young Songwriting Competition and Unsigned Only) where she placed as a finalist out of a staggering 20,000 entries and received multiple Honourable Mentions for her work.

Along with competitions, GEORGI has played local LA big-hitter venues including The Echo, Santa Monica Pier Twilight Concert series, Bardot’s School Night, Harvard & Stone, The Echoplex and many more.

GEORGI has also toured with and supported Ed Sheeran, Tash Sultana, INXS and is set to support Peter, Bjorn & John on their East Coast US tour this November, following her shows in Canada at Indie Week Music Festival – Toronto’s biggest emerging artist showcase. She is also set to play SXSW in Austin, Texas next March 2019.

Gathering inspiration from old sci-fi and horror films, elements of deep house, 80’s inspired synths and a love for the weird and the macabre – audiences around the world have been seduced by GEORGI’s hypnotic and energetic live shows, her brooding, husky vocal tones and her honest, symbolic and often ambiguous songwriting – always leaving them wanting more.

Having released multiple singles, EP’s and EDM/dance collaborations, GEORGI has spent the last year writing and producing songs for her debut album aptly titled ‘Where I Go To Disappear’ – which she plans to release this November.

Has it been a smooth road?
For the most part, yes. Even the struggles (parting ways with my ex-label for example) came with its fair share of learning curves.

Regardless of the way lessons are taught to us, every experience is of value. And if we let them, they can greatly help in teaching us more about ourselves and about our interactions with others.

Is our city a good place to do what you do?
LA is an incredible place for creatives of all mediums.

Definitely worth living here at some point in your life to experience, connect and collaborate with other talented and like-minded artists and creators.
