Kay Slice is a vibrant blend of Africa and the Afro-diaspora, rooted in Ghana, based in Rotterdam. With a sound he calls Diaspora Highlife, Kay fuses West African rhythms, Afrobeats, jazzy textures and poetic hip-hop into one seamless, soul-stirring experience. A skilled rapper, poet, and instrumentalist (balafon, saxophone), his performances, whether at North Sea Jazz, Noorderslag, or from Accra to Jakarta, are full of groove, energy and spirit. His music bridges cultures, generations and inner worlds, drawing from his Ghanaian heritage and his experience growing up in the Netherlands. For Kay, music is more than sound: it’s a mission to connect, uplift and reclaim identity. His journey is one of groundedness, liberation and joy. A healing celebration of self, roots, and the wider diaspora.
