Born and raised in London, half Greek Cypriot and half German Sri Lankan, CHRIS KAZ is not an average artist, composer and producer.
He crosses into classical, pop, house, and tech step with his bass driven soulful beats and harmonies. His portfolio is a hard drive stacked with thousands of golden meta-streaks with warmth and soul. His intensely delicate debut single, Track 01 offers something that’s refreshingly different.
Experience a glimpse into his world and hit that play button NOW.
This week, Sheffield has proven to have some strong contenders in the UK underground music scene.
Monday’s post presented grime MC Coco, with the remix to his tearing-up-the- airwaves track, Big N Serious, featuring AJ Tracey and Nadia Rose.
Next to emerge (rapidly) from the infamous city of South Yorkshire, is Javan Wright – aka J.KAS – with his trademark of chilled/afterhours R&B and hip-hop, this time packaged in his five-minute latest offering, To The Top. Go on, make your day and check out this bad boy tune.
After taking a little break, UK rapper KAE tears it up in this soulful R&B effort with emerging singer Feddaro adding the after-hours flavour…I HIGHLY recommend you to hit the play button immediately!
Feeling this track? Good news, it’s available as a FREE download via SoundCloud.
After tearing up the airwaves with the original, COCO has just dropped the remix of Big N Serious featuring Nadia Rose and AJ Tracey.
Sheffield’s hottest property recently performed an epic freestyle on Kiss FM for DJ MK & Shortee Blitz. From ticking all of the right boxes with the music tastemakers, including dropping his explosive Fire in the Booth for BBC DJ Charlie Sloth, through to performing at Notting Hill Carnival and making his debut at Ibiza Rocks last year, COCO has bypassed the route of the recent ‘new generation’ of emcees to solidly construct his own lane.
Named as one of Annie Mac’s artists to watch in 2016 in Mixmag, he’s definitely on the tip on everyone’s tongue…check out the remix to Big N Serious.
Emerging British singer-songwriter AEO releases his debut single Fight – a rousing and emotive Pop/Soul effort, beautifully crafted with burgeoning production duo OL Music (Rainy Milo, Skepta, Jake Isaac), which lands the South London native firmly on the radar, as one to watch for 2016.
The 22-year-old has been cutting his teeth on YouTube, via a string of stellar cover videos in 2014, which has caught the attention of many across the UK music landscape, and led to live performances at Acoustic Live, Uprise and The Gifted showcase, alongside the likes of Paigey Cakey, Mostack, and Ms Banks.
Inspired by great British vocalists such as Sam Smith, Kwabs and Lemar, AEO showcases his own brilliant vocals and songwriting dexterities, on this new offering, underpinned by a rich musical backdrop of piercing piano and guitar arrangements, minimalist drum patterns and thrilling choral melodies.
Speaking about the inspiration behind his single, the powerhouse said: “the lyrics to Fight are inspired by my pursuit of a career in music, which has spanned five years so far. I’ve had to fight for what I believe is my first love and passion – music. This song tells that story, and it’s a personal note to myself, telling me not to give up”.
