About Kiskadee

British Trinidadian Kiskadee grew up On the Isle of Sheppey, an island off the northern coast of Kent in England.  Her father was one of the first steel drum makers from Trinidad and her Guyanese mother studied violin and viola at the Royal Academy of Music in London.

Gifted with unusual musical abilities (including perfect pitch), Kiskadee learned piano and started singing at the age of two. By five, she was playing pan and singing in the family’s Steel Band - The Rainbow Steel Band. Whilst on tour throughout the UK and all over Europe, the Band performed at a number of prestigious venues including the Royal Festival Hall, Glyndebourne Opera House and the Commonwealth Institute in London. Even then, it was not unusual for Kiskadee to inspire such headlines in the press as “Young Singer Reveals Amazing Versatility!”

After gaining an Honours Degree in French and English and then working for the BBC for several years, Kiskadee entered the music industry full time as a Singer / Songwriter, music producer, Pan Player and Arranger. As a result, she soon found herself in great demand performing at a number of major venues and events including the Millennium Dome (to a capacity crowd of 30,000), Wimbledon Centre Court, Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club, the BBC, and for Heads of State.
Kiskadee's international Television and Radio appearances include Channel 4's 'Big Brother Live Reunion Party', ITV's Trisha Show, The Weakest Link, Central TV, Jamaica TV, Trinidad TV, BBC Radio 4 and 7, Choice FM, LBC Radio, Puerto Rico Radio and Dominican Republic Radio.

In 2005, Kiskadee recorded backing vocals for Michael Jackson and was part of his production team for the project.
