Cakes da Killa: polymath, performer, songwriter, innovator. New Jersey-born, but he’s reigned in New York through a decade-plus independent career tearing up stages and dancefloors worldwide with a trendsetting blend of rap, house, jazz, dance, and anything else that piques his interest.
He’s persevered through blogs, pigeonholing, SoundCloud, a global pandemic, and an ever-shifting music landscape prioritizing everything but talent and taste. Nevertheless, his critical and communal acclaim precede him: he’s played Glastonbury and Sonar, and he’s worked with everyone from Honey Dijon to Injury Reserve to Kaytranada to TOKiMONSTA.
But upon asking, Cakes declines to submit to convention via self-definition; he knows himself, and the rest is up to the listener.
