killkado!

<a href="spotify:artist:1NseY37eIebivhNqLKw5fH" data-name="killkado!">killkado!</a>, real name Lenny, is a 17-year-old indie/alternative rock artist from small-town Louisiana, blending heartfelt emotion with raw, genre-bending sound. Inspired early on by his half-brother, <a href="spotify:artist:7GpitAn5MCyOo9DOHJEzLo" data-name="Like (God)">Like (God)</a>’s, pop-punk and emo bands, Kado first picked up a guitar at age six and began shaping his musical identity from there.

Now focusing on digital synths and experimental production, killkado! crafts songs that drift between indie rock, alternative, and underground rap, each track reflecting his growth and personal battles. His breakout single <a href="spotify:track:1ZchFWa3y2WXPFmYGFkvOm" data-name="matter of time">matter of time</a> featuring <a href="spotify:artist:7BvYF3BhSYA0kJpw9U1zwg" data-name="Novsreign">Novsreign</a> (formerly <a href="spotify:artist:6DE9YMg4YCNX1VLG5q41FD" data-name="Novemburr">Novemburr</a> )—who’s also his cousin—became a viral hit on SoundCloud before its official release on September 23, 2025.

Despite a rocky past marked by incarceration, loss, and self-reflection, Kado’s resilience drives his art. His music feels like late-night thoughts turned into sound—vulnerable, restless, and real.

After returning to music in 2025 with a wave of new releases, killkado! continues to build his following online. He’s set to appear on two tracks from <a href="spotify:artist:6Wy2j8Lw5TCuFAlvE6uVyB" data-name="fallchords">fallchords</a>’ upcoming album Musica De Moda, including the fan-favorite teaser “xoxo.”

For Kado, it’s only a <a href="spotify:track:1ZchFWa3y2WXPFmYGFkvOm" data-name="matter of time">matter of time</a> before the world catches on.
