Kyle Chatham is a Scottish Singer-Songwriter whose ethereal dark folk floats in space with no plan to return. Combining elements of bedroom pop and shoegaze with alt-rock and ambient soundscapes, Kyle creates timeless and sincere music.
“He has found his footing in creating a mood for the music that feels completely genuine.”

Kyle writes tranquil melodies with sombre yet profound lyrics. His music is influenced by the exploration of ideas grounded in classical existentialist philosophy. There is a melancholy to his music that reflects the true beauty and sadness of life. The roots of this can be seen in his musical inspirations including Nick Drake, Ben Howard, Arthur Russell and Chris Cornell.

Kyle’s musical history started on a drum kit when he was five years old. School bands and local jam sessions followed, and when Kyle picked up the guitar aged 11, his early musical education consisted of basic singer-songwriter-capo-Ed Sheeran-style and heavy doses of 90s alternative rock like Pearl Jam and Soundgarden.

After completing a degree in Sound Production, Kyle started to produce his own music, branching out into other genres like modern pop folk, electoric, hip hop, jazz and shoegaze. His creative style is balanced by his vast knowledge of technical music theory. Kyle made the finals for Ivor’s Scholarship – a full scholarship for songwriters – during which he wrote, recorded and released his debut album Neon Spring.
