Here’s some more info about the single and Indya:

Kent’s Indya was first established in January 2015. Indya is the stage name of rock artist and songwriter “Laudez Rose”. Laudez trained in music at the Brit School for performing arts in Selhurst Croydon. She then went on to further her music training at Colins Performing Arts College in Romford, Essex where she studied for a professional diploma in Musical Theatre.

Indya’s first ever live performance was playing for Noel Gallagher’s after show party for his High Flying Birds tour. She hired session musicians to play her set & it was here that she wowed the crowd with her unique sound.

She has performed over the years for major artists such as Space, EMP, Republica, Toploader, UB40, Dub Pistols, Gun, Soap Girls, Shvpes, Sonic Boom Six, Nik Kershaw and tonnes more.

Indya has played for big festivals such as Camden Rocks/ Weyfest/ Standon Calling/ Wildfire/ Hook & Gun Fest/ Harley Davidson Bike Festival/ Rah Fest/ Musicians Against Homelessness/ Local & Live Tunbridge Wells/ Girls That Rock Fest/ Hellfest – to name just a few.

She has toured the UK 3 times & was due to be touring Las Vegas before the first lockdown. Covid hit & the tour was cancelled. But she is re-planning the Vegas tour as well as Amsterdam for 2023.

Indya was featured on the Prog Rock compilation CD sold in WH Smith and Tesco with 3 of her tracks from her first album Rebel Music.

Indya has also featured on the “Midnight Memories” music video for One Direction, and also featured in the Busted “That’s What I Go to School For” music video.

Indya was lucky enough to attend the Prog Rock Awards in 2021 sharing a table with Nick Mason (Pink Floyd) and Dream Theatre.

Since then, Prog Magazine have written about Indya in various articles, and online at Louder. Quoting Indya: “The new rock sensation” and “…has vibes like Def Leppard”
