Not many artists can claim to have been signed on to a record label at the age of 13, even more so when the label belonged to the King of R& B R. Kelly. But former The Pussycat Dolls member, Kaya Jones, is part of this privileged minority.
The singer, who has also provided backup vocals for Mick Jagger's Golden Globe winning song Old Habits Die Hard , is currently on her first tour of India.
She performed in Hyderabad on February 19 and in Pune on February 20. After her gig in Hard Rock Cafe in Delhi on today , Jones will perform in Mumbai and Bangalore over the weekend to finish with the last leg in India.
" My shows in India, so far, have been wonderful. I'm really looking forward to the Delhi concert. I have fallen in love with Indian people and their energy," the Hollywood Doll singer said.
Jones first came to prominence in 2003 when she was chosen among thousands of other singers and signed to become a Pussycat Doll.
As part of the group, her vocals were featured in the soundtracks of films such as Shark Tale and Shall We Dance? Despite the group's recording of Sway for Shall We Dance? receiving critical acclaim, Jones soon left the group for a solo career. The group itself disbanded in 2009. 10 years down the line, Jones is happy with her career and doesn't miss The Pussycat Dolls. As for the possibility of a reunion, she said, " My focus right now is on my solo album. Nothing will happen till it is launched." Her album Rise of the Phoenix is set to release on April 29 and will be her third solo collection.
Jones has also diversified into developing a fashion and beauty line for girls and has her own recording company.
