Kiana Ledé Steps Into Her Power: Music, Independence & Owning Her Voice


In an exclusive interview, Kiana Ledé opens up about going independent, embracing vulnerability, and why her next chapter is her boldest yet.

After starting her career in 2012, Ledé signed with Republic Records and dropped her 2018 breakout EP, Selfless, which featured the platinum-certified hit “Ex.” Her 2020 debut studio album, Kiki, peaked at No. "Seeing something come to life that is just me and my team, us independently creating this thing with nobody telling us that we can't do s**t or working against us, just people that are all there to make this vision happen... it felt so positive," she says. With her single “Natural” climbing Billboard’s Top 10 Adult R&B chart, Ledé proves that deeply emotional, vulnerable music still has a place in the industry.
