After gaining recognition and building an expanding fanbase on YouTube, South East London Artist KS LDN is rapidly cementing his name on the UK music circuit. At 17 years old, KS LDN has single-handedly accumulated an organic following of over 300,000 followers with his engaging YouTube videos and challenges, a platform which he utilised to cultivate a pursuit in artistry. Growing up in a musical household where he would hear the vocals of his mother, a Singer/Songwriter and his father a musician, KS LDN recalls penning his first song at 5 years old and as he grew older, he interlaced his love for music with acting. His musical influences stem from multi genres and artists such as Drake and Alicia Keys in juxtaposition with Gospel music which would be the sounds of a routine Sunday morning spent at church. It was at 13 years old that KS LDN began to get vocal training from his mother's friend and eventually got an agent. Despite no professional training, KS LDN found himself landing roles in 'The Lion King On Tour' and the Whitney Houston inspired box office sell out, 'The Bodyguard Musical' in London's West End. Due to his schooling requirements not being met, KS LDN took time out from the stage to concentrate on his education. With his stomping ground introducing him to an environment which was rife in illegitimate practice, KS LDN was set on steering clear of a lifestyle many of his acquaintances followed and decided to start posting videos online at 13 years old, a pastime his mother initially was wary of. Encouraged to upload videos by a friend, what started off as light-hearted fun then developed into consistent posting to his channel which saw KS's following steadily increase. His musical venture was further impassioned when another YouTuber left comments criticising KS's videos, to which he retaliated with a diss track amplifying his views to 900,000. After receiving positive feedback for his diss track, KS LDN became inspired to create more music and in September 2019 dropped his first single 'Roley' which racked up a total of 605,000 views on his channel alone, followed by two features he appeared on with musical associates, Hailomkidd on 'Ten10' and TW for 'Nike Tech'. His highly anticipated release 'No Hook' hit 18,000 views within the first 4 hours of its release and continues to proliferate. KS LDN continues to explore his musical finesse by experimenting with cross genres to intertwine with his melodic style of Rap further perfecting his musical dexterity. YIC (Youngest In Charge) is his next offering with KS LDN pushing his talent further. With his signature style of vocal delivery, melodic and very catchy. Which is executed with confidence and skillful word play. Produced by Fady Michaels and mixed and mastered in the United States this is a great follw up to his previous releases and set the standard for his up and coming music which we have to say is outstanding. KS LDN is someone to watch in 2020 / 2021 A future star is rising...
