KIAN
A multi-dimensional teen with a neo-spiritual vibe and songwriting abilities beyond his years KIAN wrote “Waiting” at the age of 14, recorded it at 15 and releases his sophomore track just as he turns 16 years old. The song has gone viral, and as a result KIAN is being courted by every single international and local record label worth mentioning. His head is spinning and all the while “Waiting” continues to gain momentum.
KIAN stepped into the spotlight with his killer chorus on Baker Boy’s debut track Cloud 9 back in May 2017. 16-year-old KIAN hails from the goldfield town of Castlemaine, Vic. A life surrounded by music, songwriters, and rappers – he’s no stranger to the inner workings of the music scene.
Since the age of two KIAN’s been travelling with his dad making music in remote Indigenous communities. It was at Beswick Community [NT] that KIAN met Baker Boy.
Aged 13 & 17 the connection was instant. A few years on the crew were at a loose end and decided to create Cloud 9.
KIAN stepped up to the microphone and delivered his killer hook smashing it out of the park. Inspired and encouraged by Baker Boy KIAN began focusing on his own songs. Since that time he has been listed in triple j’s “best new music” [Feb 2018]. “Waiting” is the first song he wrote, and the second to be released after releasing his debut “Too Far Gone” with Vince the Kid earlier this year. The two continue to work together. Waiting went viral instantly after KIAN won triple j Unearthed High competition in August 2018 and life has never been the same.
Waiting
Since winning triple j Unearthed High, Waiting has been
added to high rotation, garnered commercial radio play on
NOVA and AUSTEREO, and clocked up over forty million streams on Spotify.
