1. Kaya is Dave Stewart’s daughter.
Kaya is one of Dave’s four children. Dave is best known for being part of the pop duo group Eurythmics with Annie Lennox. The duo was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2022. Dave has also written and produced for Mick Jagger, Stevie Nicks, and more.
2. Kaya was born in London.
Kaya was born in London to Dave and his third wife, Anoushka Fisz. Dave and Anoushka eventually moved their family, including Kaya and their other daughter Indya, to Los Angeles.
3. Kaya has obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Kaya was diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder during the COVID-19 pandemic, she revealed to Hashtag Magazine. Her diagnosis led to the creation of her latest album.
“It was the weirdest time of my life because I had this life-changing diagnosis that explained so much for me,” she told the outlet. “I wasn’t planning on making an album; I was actually thinking of taking a break for a little while. I called my dad, and he said, ‘Why don’t you just come to Nashville and record a couple of songs?’ By the time I left, we had If Things Go South. I was able to be myself in the studio. The album is the most honest thing I’ve ever done.”

The 23-year-old released her self-titled studio album in 2016. She dropped the EP Miss Kaya in 2021. Kaya released the 10-song album If Things Go South in 2022.
5. Kaya has been mentored by Annie Lennox.
Back in 2015, Kaya revealed to All Access Music that watching her dad and Annie “play live always inspired me. She was and still is such an incredible frontwoman.” Kaya has always been drawn to how “passionate” Annie is as a performer.
