Meet Kit Davey, a burgeoning R&B and Neo-Soul singer-songwriter and pianist with a musical journey as diverse as his influences. Growing up in a musically inclined family, he was surrounded by an eclectic mix of rock, country, soul, blues, jazz, indie rock, classical, choral, and opera. This rich musical backdrop shaped his deep appreciation for melody and storytelling, sparking a passion that has defined his artistry.
Encouraged by his family, Kit began private voice and piano lessons at an early age, developing a strong foundation in classical music. This training and platform led to performances in large-scale concerts across the UK, international tours (with both choirs and jazz ensembles), and even multiple solo appearances at London’s prestigious Royal Opera House in Covent Garden.
While studying music in London, Kit formed a close creative bond with alt/pop artist Ciara Lea, collaborating on singles like Cry and Stolen Sun. Though he began writing songs at 14, his solo work has since embraced the warmth and groove of R&B and Soul. His sound is influenced by both classic and contemporary artists—drawing inspiration from legends like Stevie Wonder and The Eagles, while also resonating with the modern sensibilities of Daniel Caesar, Bruno Major, and Mac Ayres. These influences bring a timeless yet fresh energy to his songwriting, blending soul, intricate harmonies and vocal textures, and rich instrumentation.
Beyond his solo work, Kit contributes to Lisbon’s dynamic alt/pop scene and co-writes country-inspired songs with writers from Nashville and San Francisco. His first release came in 2018 with Tileyard Studios in London, but he later chose to remove the project to refine his artistic direction. Now, with a new partnership through AWAL, he is preparing to release a six-track EP this spring, marking a significant new chapter in his career.
Kit Davey’s music is an authentic and honest exploration of emotion, life, and connection. With his diverse background and extensive training, he is carving out a unique space in R&B and Neo-Soul—offering a sound that is both deeply personal and universally resonant.
