Kayar reinterprets the traditional South Indian sounds he grew up with into something funky and fresh with his own music. A second-generation immigrant born in Western Sydney, he’s just released a brand new single “Long Way Home.”
I couldn’t help thinking about early Jason Mraz as I listened to this track. There’s a similar rhythmic sensibility and purity to his vocals. I lost touch with Mraz’s music somewhere along the way as it lost a bit of its quirk; Kayar might just be the artist I need to fill the void he left!
