KANDA

17-year-old Coventry based Rapper and recording artist Kanda uses his lyrical storytelling to speak about a number of different socially dividing topics with the younger generation. Having released a string of consistent releases he has gained support from BBC Introducing Midlands and 6 Music and amassed over 200,000 streams, gaining over 10K monthly Spotify listeners. In June of 2021 he collaborated with the well-known Panjabi MC to release his biggest and most significant song of his career so far named ‘Latino Heat’ international support with national mainstream radio support from BBC Asian Network and in-turn led him to recently be chosen to play the 2021 MOBO Awards press launch.

​

With a string of releases set to drop this year taken from his debut EP out in June, his next single IHGYN is about the mental health within young males and the importance of being there for each other. It was this reason he has teamed up with the charity CALM, so together they can reach as many of his peers as possible and spread the word.
