ABOUT KANII:

In his bedroom, Kanii learned how to turn his voice into magic. The 17-year-old artist and singer from Washington, D.C., who started out making music just feet from where he slept, spent his childhood dabbling in various recording software and capturing his preternaturally brilliant voice. With an alchemical combination of club rhythms, sticky pop melodies, and a post-everything approach to maximal electronic music, he’s already shown his brilliance to millions around the world.

Masked Gorilla founder Roger Gengo loved “Attachment” and signed Kanii to his label, and now the singer/songwriter is ready to continue refining his craft. Kanii has a keen pop sense that nuzzles its way into each of his songs. That can be traced back to his childhood and growing up in a house full of music. A rich tradition of vocal excellence seeped into Kanii’s songwriting, updating the sounds of classic stars for the online era. “I’m just better lyrically, melodically, and rhythmically than ever before. I’m just so excited with where I’m going,” he says.
