Kkailou

Hailing from Margate, UK, Kkailou is the latest sonic expression of Steph Dickinson, a songwriter, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist known for her genre-defying musical explorations.

Steph has collaborated with an array of esteemed artists and producers, including Will Rees (Mystery Jets founding member), Hughie Gavin, Vince Pope, Naima Bock, and United Freedom Collective. Notably, her vocal talents have recently been featured on the True Detective: Night Country soundtrack.

As a songwriter and recording artist, Steph has achieved recognition with the release of two EPs with her duo Mas. "Limbo" (2022) and "Songs of the Silent Years" (2019) and garnered widespread airplay, secured coveted placements on editorial playlists, and earned synchronisation opportunities. Her ability to seamlessly blend elements from various genres has captivated audiences worldwide.

Currently, Steph embarks on an exciting new chapter as a solo artist under the moniker Kkailou, drawing inspiration from her Cypriot and Irish heritage. Set for release in 2024, her upcoming EP "Midnight," co-produced with United Freedom Collective's Robbie Redway, promises to showcase her evolution as an artist while staying true to her roots.

Effortlessly existing somewhere within the indie-pop-folk world, Kkailou weaves together organic instrumentation, gritty of electronics and a delicate lyrical tapestry.
