KEIYAA SHARES NEW VIDEO “THIRSTY” & ANNOUNCES 2026 HEADLINE/FESTIVAL TOUR
Chicago-born, NYC-based singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer keiyaA returns to share a new music video for “thirsty”, a track off her recent album hooke’s law. This latest music video arrives as keiyaA announces a run of US and European headline dates, including a hometown show in Chicago, alongside an extensive slate of festival appearances across Europe this summer and into the fall.
“Thirsty” opens with keiyaA’s playful flip of Gucci Mane’s “Thirsty,” launching with an intro that feels like a burst of radio dial from a passing car before unfolding into one of the album’s most resounding moments — a feeling mirrored in the music video, which stars keiyaA and was directed by the artist herself.
keiyaA makes music that excavates, discovers, and excavates again — all in pursuit of life’s most beautiful and daunting questions. A multidisciplinary artist whose work spans music, poetry, acting, choreography, and production, she continued her expansive world‑building with hooke’s law, an album that earned widespread year‑end acclaim and appeared on multiple best‑of lists, while also cementing her as an artist to watch with a New York Times Artists to Watch in 2026 feature. Arriving on the heels of her first theatrical stage play, milk thot, the two works are deeply intertwined: milk thot stages a ritual of deconstruction and rebirth as keiyaA confronts her shadow self, while hooke’s law extends that process sonically, dismantling and reconstructing the ego on her own terms. Both projects blur the boundaries between performer and audience, self and story, dissolving any notion of linearity. Together, they form a continuum of radical self‑interrogation and transformation – a kaleidoscopic expression of identity through sound, movement, and emotion.
