Taking a fresh approach to some timeless classics, emerging artist KANDA has teamed up with Maniscooler to unveil their latest track, “Where I’ve Been“.
Blending the profound soul of Bobby Caldwell with contemporary hip-hop production, enriched by a hint of Tupac’s influence, the duo offers a unique track that bridges eras.
“Where I’ve Been” resonates with the blend of old school charm and modern beats, suitable for both introspective long drives and vibrant party atmospheres.
KANDA’s known skill in storytelling is evident as he lyrically navigates socially significant topics relevant to the younger generation, backed by Maniscooler’s dynamic production.
Having garnered over 400,000 streams from his prior releases, KANDA’s musical journey is noteworthy. Drawing inspiration from a diverse range of artists like Bruno Mars, Rag ‘n’ Bone Man, and J Hus, he has established a distinctive voice in the musical landscape.
His tryst with music began early. By age 8, he was a regular performer in school settings, and by 14, he was not just singing, but also writing and producing his own tracks.
His active participation in both local and national music scenes has primed him for the next phase of his career. At 19, KANDA’s recent signing with Leicester-based independent record label, HQ Familia, promises fans more captivating work in the near future.
Delving deeper into KANDA’s background reveals a life steeped in music from the get-go. Born in April 2004 in Coventry, this young artist’s talents have already seen significant recognition.
In early 2020, he reached the finals of Open Mic UK, showcasing his talents at London’s iconic O2 venue. This achievement set him on a path that led to a partnership with Jost Music, furthering his commitment to producing forward-looking and memorable tunes.
As KANDA continues to challenge and refine his artistry, “Where I’ve Been” stands as a testament to his ability to craft relatable stories through song – making him an artist to watch in the coming years.
