Kaiyah Mercedes '3 Month Blackout' Single Launch

Kaiyah Mercedes is a rising force in Melbourne’s indie music scene, bringing raw emotion and poetic storytelling to the forefront. As a queer neurodivergent artist, she has carved out a distinct sound, blending indie-pop with folk and rock influences. Diagnosed with autism and ADHD at 15, and a string of chronic illnesses in the coming years, Kaiyah channels their experiences into deeply introspective songwriting, offering a powerful lens into self-discovery and identity.

Beyond the music, Kaiyah is a fierce advocate for authenticity, curating live performances and a social media community that celebrates queer, disabled and neurodivergent voices. Their shows are more than concerts—they’re immersive experiences, inviting audiences into a world of unfiltered emotion and energy, with a focus on creating a safe space for all at the same time.

Taking this live show into a new direction, Kaiyah will be playing with their band and supported by an all neurodivergent lineup with alt-pop artist Mathilde Anne and indie-pop-rock artist Lili-Violet. You won't want to miss some of the best live local music Melbourne has to offer with an afternoon of authenticity and healing.
