Kovan

Kovan is a bold, unapologetic voice rising from Aotearoa—fusing the rawness of Hip-Hop with the soul of RnB and the fire of his Kurdish roots. Born into a refugee family, he channels the same grit he witnessed in his whānau into every beat, lyric, and move he makes. A Law graduate, studio co-founder, and compelling performer, Kovan proves that creative excellence and resilience can coexist. By 20, he was performing to packed crowds across the North Island. Now 23, he has over 100K streams, Spotify editorial placements, standout visuals, and appearances on Mai FM and RadioActive. His music invokes confidence, hope, and cultural pride—bridging peoples, generations, and genres with undeniable self-belief. With four singles, an EP, and a North Island tour planned for 2025—plus a move to LA—Kovan is becoming one of Aotearoa’s most dynamic exports. For him, music isn’t just expression—it’s 'raparin', a revolution. As a Kurd, climbing summits isn’t optional. It’s inherited.
