Kianja

About

Raised on a musical diet of soul, reggae and jazz, Kianja is unafraid to fuse genres and is dedicated to writing relatable and honest songs that stand the test of time. Her love affair with song writing took hold when she moved to Durban from north-east London as a teenager, and she went on to study jazz at The Guildhall a few years later, all the while writing and producing original material in her bedroom. Kianja’s debut 2019 EP, Glory, led to support across BBC Radio 1, Rinse FM and 1Xtra, and her impeccable live performances also earnt her a personal recommendation from Nile Rodgers to perform at Meltdown Festival at the London Southbank. She’s also performed at some of London’s premiere venues including Ronnie Scotts, Colours Hoxton and Royal Festival Hall.
