Singing Guide: Khai Dreams

Vocal technique, exercises, tips and relevant resources

Are you a beginner or advanced singer?

Khai Dreams, a Hawaiian lo-fi indie singer, started his musical career on SoundCloud in 2014. His unique dreamy, mellow voice and poetic lyrics infused with love, nostalgia, and hope captured the hearts of millions of fans around the world.

If you want to learn how to sing like Khai Dreams, focus on his vocal technique — half-singing-half-rapping — and his soft, airy voice that blends so well with the dreamy music.

Here are some practical tips that will help:

  • Breathing: Khai's breath is an essential part of his vocal technique. He uses it to create pauses and rhythm, often switching between singing and rapping. Practice deep breathing exercises, such as Farinelli breathing, and experiment with using your breath as a rhythmic tool to enhance your singing.
  • Pitch accuracy: Khai Dreams often sings in a flat voice, using pitch inflections to convey emotions and moods. Practice pitch control exercises, such as the Singing Carrots pitch accuracy test, to develop your ability to sing in tune and change the pitch based on the mood of the song.
  • Articulation: Khai's poetic lyrics require precise articulation to convey his message effectively. Practice articulation exercises, such as the Finger Bite exercise, to train your tongue and jaw muscles to produce clear and crisp consonants.
  • Voice registers: Khai Dreams often switches between different voice registers, using a mix of chest voice, falsetto, and head voice to create a unique vocal texture. Practice voice register exercises, such as the Singing Comfort Zone, to learn how to transition smoothly between different voice registers and improve your overall vocal range.
