Kooldrink

Kooldrink is a 25 year-old Zimbabwean-born music producer and recording artist best known for discovering, developing and producing Grammy Award-winner Tyla and her debut single Getting Late; the record that set both of their careers into motion. His story begins long before that record, with production credits and releases under his belt for labels such as Universal, Mad Decent & Parlophone, going back over a decade.

Under this alias since 2019, he has honed his craft at the forefront of African electronic music, delicately balancing street sonics and intentional sound design with a saccharine pop sentimentality that has firmly rooted his position in the global dance zeitgeist. As the founder of Pop-Piano, he has played a pivotal role in shaping and popularizing the genre on a global scale.

It comes as no surprise that this persistence and excellence have seen the young artist quickly ascend to prominence on the world stage. Hot on the heels of the release of Getting Late with Tyla in 2021, Kooldrink had already been tapped by Ed Sheeran to create the official Amapiano remix of his runaway hit Bad Habits for Asylum / Warner.
