~ Kady Kish set to release new music, make debut at New York concert

KISHANA Ferguson started her musical career as soon as she left high school nine years ago and, despite some setbacks, she’s proud of all that she’s managed to accomplish so far in the local industry.

During an interview with this week’s buzz, Kishana recalled the earlier days of her career. She had always loved singing growing up and her family and friends would always comment on what a beautiful voice she had. Constantly hearing such remarks Kishana decided to take her talent as much more.

The 25-year-old who goes by the stage name ‘Kady Kish’ started out in the Fame Band and branched off into the Heatwave Band before pursuing a solo career.

While still a teen in school, she entered into the Children’s Calypso Competition and got first at the Nationals. The owner of Fame Band saw her performance and advised the then young musician to pursue a career with the band after she completed her Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) Examination.

Since then, she has collaborated with some of the big names in the industry here and has also been travelling and performing internationally. Just recently, she performed at the Atlanta Guyana Day in the United States of America and she has a performance set in Albany, New York next week.

Within the next week or so, Kishana will be releasing two new songs and aside from this she is presently doing work on a music video for one of the songs she has already released called “Make a Way.”

“The cravings for a different life is definitely making me push harder. I really like creating fun music,” she expressed.

Kishana has managed to acquire some equipment recently to open up a studio in her home because one of the difficulties that she’s always had when recording in Guyana is studio time and access.
“I wanted to have my own little set up so in case someone sent a little rhythm to me, I just had to voice it and send it back.”

The musician wants fellow artistes to know their worth because some tend to take advantage.
“They already know your worth but they just hope that you don’t know it. A lot of talented artistes dropped out of the race because they felt like they were being disrespected and underpaid.”

In the future, she plans to visit some more Caribbean countries, creating more music and videos, and collaborating with international artistes.
