KIANA LEDÉ HEADLINES FIRST SOLD-OUT SHOW IN LOS ANGELES AS AN INDEPENDENT ARTIST

Kiana Ledé delivered a breathtaking performance at the historic El Rey Theatre on Feb. 13th, headlining her first-ever sold-out show in Los Angeles as an independent artist. While she previously sold out The Novo during her Grudges headlining tour, this special one-night-only performance marked a significant milestone in her journey as an independent artist. As a prelude to Valentine’s Day, the intimate venue was packed with devoted fans, all eager to witness the magic of Kiana live.

Draped in two show-stopping looks, Kiana first graced the stage in an elegant white ensemble, exuding an angelic aura that captivated the crowd from the moment she stepped under the lights. Midway through the show, she transformed into a striking ox-blood red outfit, symbolizing a dramatic shift—her rebirth after metaphorically ‘killing’ her past lover. This striking transition played into Kiana’s love for horror, with the visual storytelling aligning perfectly with her fascination for Halloween, her favorite time of the year. Looking stunning and sounding even better, Kiana showcased her powerful vocals, proving why she remains one of R&B’s most exciting voices.

The setlist was a mix of fan favorites and new material from her latest album. Highlights included “Natural,” which is currently holding strong at #9 on Billboard’s Adult R&B charts, and her breakout hit “Ex,” a track that soared into the Top 10 on the Rhythmic radio charts. With every note, she had the audience singing along, creating a truly unforgettable night for her fans.
