Kingsley

Kingsley is a recording artist, producer, songwriter & engineer representing the latest breed of standout upcoming artists on the African continent. He is particularly know for his razor-sharp bars, soulful melodies and tantalizing hooks, which he does as second-nature. He started out as a producer at the age of 11 when he was introduced to FL Studio by his older brother, and gained quick interest in beat making and lyricism. A year later, he began writing lyrics and practicing the rap artform in his first year of high school, which was a decision primarily influenced by seeing his older perform on stage as a senior. He cites early influences such as AKA, Michael Jackson, Kanye West & Lil Wayne. Although his love for Hip-Hop stems from its early impact on him, he blends it with the RnB, Soul and Pop influences gained from the music played in his household by his parents from a tender age. At 15, he released his first track as part of a high school group which he formed with two of his friends. His solo career began when he enrolled at the University of Pretoria, just as the current Pitori Hip-Hop and Amapiano scenes were emerging. He also founded Kountry Klub Records
