Since then, music and dance have been his life and he can’t really remember when he decided to take it up professionally as it was always his lifestyle. Kayton describes his personality and dress code as funky and happy because he wants to spread love and happiness wherever he goes.
His latest release,”Forever”, speaks about appreciating the essence of women.
