ESNS:
2022
Kai Kwasi is a 21 year-old songwriter and producer from South-East London. His honeyed tones and deeply personal lyricism create a path that's all hos own, which feels as close to Joni Mitchell as it does Frank Ocean. The youngster taught himself guitar, bass, keys and production and is influenced by everything from highlife and bossa nova to R&B, soul and UK rap. Kai’s debut singles, ‘unt’ and 'sms' are out via PIAS, leading up to debut EP 'Jahlila'.
