Claudia and Kaiit Unite to Create New Global Sound
Malaysian singer-songwriter Claudia and Australia’s rising star Kaiit have come together in an exciting collaboration, merging their unique sounds for the Jameson Distilled Sounds project. Guided by music icon Anderson .Paak, and supported by Fender and NTS, the artists participated in a three-day event at Jameson’s Sound Distillery in Ireland. This dynamic collaboration has resulted in Draw Me, a track that blends Claudia’s Malaysian pop sensibilities with Kaiit’s Papua New Guinean R&B soul.
A Journey of Culture and Connection
For Claudia, this journey offered a chance to explore new musical influences and connect with global artists. “Jameson Distilled Sounds introduced me to talented artists from all over the world, each bringing their own culture and sounds,” she shared. Working with Kaiit allowed Claudia to infuse her own style with Kaiit’s neo-soul roots, creating a fusion that felt both fresh and authentic.
The Sound Distillery provided an inspiring space where artists could collaborate across genres. Jameson’s program featured late-night jam sessions and .Paak-led workshops, with Fender guitar sessions and NTS talks pushing artists creatively.
Draw Me: A Track That Speaks to the Heart
Draw Me combines the best of both worlds, reflecting Kaiit’s soulful melodies and Claudia’s expressive lyrics. It’s a song about vulnerability, connection, and mutual respect, highlighting how powerful collaborations can be. The track is part of the Jameson Distilled Sounds Live Sessions, available on YouTube, where fans can experience this captivating blend of genres.
A New Platform for Global Artists
Jameson’s Distilled Sounds program showcases the value of community, culture, and creativity in music. Alongside Claudia and Kaiit, artists like Seedhe Maut and L’Rain join Jameson, sharing unique sounds from around the world. By connecting artists through music, Jameson brings together a world of sounds that transcend borders.
