A RareStarr Production · IntroducingCaiKaye.
With Lagos in her blood.
Filipino-Nigerian heritage, shaped between two continents. Afropop, RnB and Amapiano — a sound that knows where it came from and where it's going.

02 — The Album
Midnight Groove.
Debut LP · July 22, 2026
CaiKaye, produced by RareStarr · A RareStarr Production release
Ten tracks. Two heritages. One late-night frequency. Midnight Groove is finished — a slow-burning fusion of Afropop, RnB and Amapiano. The first listen happens in a small room.
Two singles before the album: Shake Shake (May 22) and Touch ‘n’ Go (June 19). The full album, and the first live listen, on July 22 in New York.
List members get first consideration. The room is small.
03 — Meet CaiKaye
“Music is my language, and every song is a conversation with the world.”
— CaiKaye
CaiKaye was born in the Philippines to a Filipino mother and Nigerian father. She spent part of her childhood in Nigeria — formative years that planted the rhythms deep — before returning to the Philippines, where she was raised and schooled. Now based in New York, her sound carries all three worlds: Filipino soul, Nigerian heritage, and the international energy of New York. Midnight Groove, produced by RareStarr, is her debut.

The album doesn't begin on a stream. It begins in a room. On July 22, Midnight Groove plays in full for the first time — an intimate gathering in New York, followed by global release at midnight.
