A little over five years ago, the now 21-year-old KIAN burst onto the scene with the 5x Platinum certified, ARIA Top 20 hit “Waiting”. Penned at the tender age of 15, the track catapulted KIAN into the mainstream, finding commercial radio success and besotted fans around the world. Looking back, ‘Waiting’ has proven itself to be a timeless slice of infectiously catchy modern pop.

Debut EP Bliss followed and hinted at a long list of influences, moving through tracks that played with echoes of the vibrant LA beat making scene (‘Childism’) through to the insular, purple hued R&B (‘Summer Insecurity’) that would go on to define 2022’s ‘Shine’. KIAN has been nothing if not experimental with his craft since his teenage years, effortlessly moving through genres as his adolescent tastes changed, fiercely dedicated to discovering his own sound. The highs and lows of this process have led to the chameleonic creator adjusting his colours once again to close out 2023.
