Kazi
Kazi is a singer, rapper, songwriter and producer from New York City. His Lower East Side upbringing, keen ear for melody and years of musicianship yield a unique brand of pop built on influences ranging from Swae Lee to Speaker Knockerz to Springsteen. Following debut New York and LA headliners, Kazi independently released his debut EP Growing Pains in 2019, followed by breakout single “Going Thru The Motions” released from quarantine in 2020. He returned with a new direction this fall by way of two new singles “real ones” and “ruin my life”, which quickly cemented him as a pillar of the New York hyperpop / alt pop scene. Kazi is working on writing and executive producing his upcoming project which is set to release this year.
