KaniBeatz

KaniBeatz, a Nigerian-British singer, songwriter, and producer, has significantly impacted the global music landscape through his distinct sound. His work integrates the popular Afrobeats style from Nigeria with the UK Afro-swing genre. Early in his career, he released music under the name Kani, with the track ‘Know You’ (2014) demonstrating his nascent talent as both a producer and an artist. This track garnered over 140,000 views on YouTube.

In early 2019, KaniBeatz announced a name change and subsequently released new music. His track ‘Ma Lo’ featured Brandz and Mista Silva, a British-Ghanaian musician recognized by The Guardian as a notable Afrobeats artist. This collaboration highlighted KaniBeatz’s commitment to working with Afrobeats artists to create innovative Afro-swing music. ‘Ma Lo’ was premiered by GRM Daily, a prominent urban music platform, and received regular airplay on Pulse 88, an R&B/hip-hop radio station.

KaniBeatz has continued to advance his career, preparing his first major EP which is set to feature artists such as Paigey Cakey, Brandz, Mercston, and the DNA Twins. His forthcoming single, ‘Mr Man,’ featuring Nigerian singers Teni and Joeboy, is anticipated to enhance his professional standing. In addition to his music career, KaniBeatz has expanded his personal brand by becoming a brand ambassador for Claudio Lugli, a clothing company that has also partnered with figures like Tyson Fury. He has also been a live studio guest on The Beat London radio station.
