New York City–born singer Nita Kaja and Kosovo-born music producer Drin Tashi met on a fateful summer night in Prishtina that shifted the trajectories of their lives forever. Their undeniable connection led Kaja to relocate to her parents' homeland; with Tashi by her side—and some recording equipment in their bedroom—they created the project SYTË. After some years, the duo rooted in NYC… where they still produce in their bedroom.
SYTË—Albanian for eyes and phonetically adapted as sight—is defined by balanced contrast: extrovert and introvert, sun and moon, right and left brain. Nita and Drin’s opposing yet complementary energies drive their distinctive sound: artful yet sticky kinda-pop.
"New York City’s electric and ambitious influence jumps out on SYTË’s latest EP, Perfect Timing. Released on July 18th, the EP includes four tracks that prove to be their most confident work yet. Tashi’s artful production transports listeners directly into relatable scenarios or intense emotions embellished by Kaja’s mesmeric vocals." -
"SYTË’s new EP, “You Know That, Right?”, is a captivating musical journey that leaves a profound impact on anyone that listens." -
"The production from the band is top-notch and dynamic as the verses are stripped down while the chorus sections have more oomph as the layered arrangement comes to light at that juncture." -
"Known for creating music which allows listeners to connect to their emotions and express them accurately, SYTË hope to change the landscape of modern pop music, bringing more honest and introspective songwriting to the table." -
"Their newest offering as a duo “Sirena” delves into the darkness behind love, and fear of self-sabotage in romance. The sugary-sweet vocals of singer Nita Kaja meet with Drin Tashi’s well-honed producing for this art-pop track." -
