KESHO

KESHO (pronounced 'kay-sho') is 24 year old Kenyan born Connor Daniel, an artist whose music knows no boundaries. The name means 'Tomorrow' in Swahili, as KESHO is out to be the sound of the future. Bringing together dance, electronica and R&B, the sound is a vibrant fusion that takes up today’s post-genre challenge to create soul-infused, modern pop equally at home on radio or the dancefloor.

Connor has been making music since his early teens, when he began uploading unofficial dubstep mixes of Drake and Usher to YouTube. He now describes the tracks as “awful”, but they showed impressive studio skills, clocking up plays of nearly 2 million, and later, earning him his first of many features on BBC Introducing.

Currently holed up in his studio where he&#39;s constantly creating new material, KESHO is rapidly evolving beyond an experimental studio project. Attention-grabbing new songs such as Whiskey Sour show ambition, updating contemporary RnB with neon-tinged synthpop and global beats in a way reminiscent of breakout acts such as <a href="spotify:artist:0GG2cWaonE4JPrjcCCQ1EG" data-name="SG Lewis">SG Lewis</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:5Q81rlcTFh3k6DQJXPdsot" data-name="Mura Masa">Mura Masa</a> (“a huge inspiration, production-wise” says Connor).

The word is out: KESHO is on a mission to liberate your mind, body and soul.
