Kid D

Critically acclaimed for his distinctive breed of ethereal ‘mature grime’ and hip hop productions, drawing on a range of influences including R&amp;B, jazz and ambient music, Lewisham’s Kid D has carved a name for himself as one of the genre’s most emotive instrumentalists – receiving plaudits from the likes of <a href="spotify:artist:7Eu1txygG6nJttLHbZdQOh" data-name="Four Tet">Four Tet</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:2LZDXcxJWgsJfKXZv9a5eG" data-name="Cashmere Cat">Cashmere Cat</a> – and now has his eyes set on earning equal recognition as a wordsmith.
