Coming straight out of Loughor, South Wales, is multi-talented musician & 2025 Welsh Music Prize longlistee Karl Ian James aka The K.I.J Experience.

Despite being a solo project, The K.I.J Experience masterfully crafts sounds that give the illusion of a full band performance, showcasing his versatility and musical prowess. His songs have featured on Amazing Radio, Breaking Sound Radio, Radio Wigwam, and Bounce Digital Radio.
