Two years ago, London-based Leo Kalyan uploaded a refix of Duke Dumont's

"Need U (100%)" and Jessie Ware's "Running" to Soundcloud. Anchored

around his own delicate vocals, it appeared online for the purest of reasons;

because making it was fun and it was the result of Kalyan teaching himself to

produce. Notoriety soon followed with a number of blogs picking up on the

then unknown artist/producer, leading to him topping the HypeMachine chart.

This sense of organically letting things take shape has permeated the self-

styled “oceanic beats” that Kalyan has made since: from the percolating

electro-soul of "Temptation" (his first original song), to the stuttering majesty

of the Karma Kid and MNEK collaboration "Over You” - supported by Annie

Mac, MistaJam and Huw Stephens amongst others - to the recently released

Silver Linings EP which featured lead track "Fingertips" reaching the top of the

Spotify worldwide viral charts and being added to the BBC 1Xtra playlist with

widespread radio and press support from around the world. Leo Kalyan has a

sound that luxuriates patiently, washing over you in its own time.
