OAKUM

At the crossroads of sound and imagination stands OAKUM, a Vancouver-based artist transforming emotions into immersive musical experiences. By day, Kieran Jenkins shapes the world as an aspiring architect; by night, he becomes OAKUM, crafting compositions that blur reality and cinematic fantasy.

Since 2013, he has woven intricate soundscapes influenced by Porter Robinson, Flume, and ODESZA. His music is more than notes—it's a narrative spun with cinematic threads, inviting listeners to explore new dimensions of feeling.

Extending his artistry, OAKUM designs visuals that accompany his music, elevating each piece into a multi-sensory journey. These visuals are integral to his storytelling, enveloping audiences in a narrative where music and imagery coalesce.

Having performed across Vancouver and U.S. cities like Denver, New York, Idaho, and Seattle, OAKUM is poised to bring his dynamic blend of bass, beats, and cinematic soundscapes to festivals throughout Canada and the U.S. As a dual citizen, he seamlessly bridges the North American music scene.

Upcoming collaborations with K+Lab, Def3, ill.gates, Julia Khan, and Ashleigh Ball promise to showcase his evolving artistry to broader audiences.

Standing on the cusp of new horizons, OAKUM remains dedicated to pushing his craft's boundaries, inviting listeners to join his journey through sound and vision.
