Giving you main character energy, iamkyami is serving glimmer-swirl indie RnB with a side of poly gluttonous punk attitude. Unpacking and exploding the rich opulence of pop RnB tropes, Kyami’s signature sound lies in the stillness of the aftermath. A far-future cartoon landscape dotted with skyscraper sized themes, where the .zip-file- distortion of pillowy synths wobble in the rising heat of the afternoon and light-headed guitar flurries float by like dust in the sunlight.
Raw, honest and with near ninja-like emotional literacy, iamkyami is your slick-talking, perceptive narrator exploring notions of identity, uniqueness and self: “My heritage is one where two
worlds collide and that’s something really special. Being half Japanese and half Black American, there are so many influences to pull from and my aesthetic is heavily based on my identity. Not only my ethnic identity but my identity as a Queer person too. My music is simply another way to express myself and the ways in which I view the world.”
Kyamis talent has garnered recognition from a broad range of brands, artists, and press outlets, further solidifying their reputation as an artist to watch. They have graced stages alongside acclaimed acts like Zuzu, Roy Ayers, Yazmin Lacey,
Pizzagirl, Georgia, and Tank and the Bangas, showcasing their dynamic and genre-defying musical style. In addition to their impressive live performances, Kyami's music has been featured on prominent platforms like BBC 1Xtra, BBC Radio 1, BBC
6 Music, The Line of Best Fit, and Dork Magazine, drawing widespread acclaim from critics and audiences alike.
