Kit likes music. His propensity for the mix was forged in the drum and bass ridden streets of south Manchester, so he sought to play a different sound; a sound that might (potentially) have been described as ‘eclectic’, ‘juicy’ and ‘funkadelic to the point of ridiculousness’. He has stated his sole aim is to bring a selection of beats that leave craters on dance floors, and sweaty pools on the ceiling. A veteran of Indigo, Shoreditch BOXPARK (the upstairs zone) and his friend Steve’s basement, Kit is not one to miss.

I’m a passionate singer-songwriter  based in London, with an ability to blend acoustic and rock influences - I have been told that I have distinctive "raw" vocals that play well to this style. I have been developing a catalogue of songs over the years and as an ambitious musician, I am striving to grow as an artist with bigger production and performance experiences. Listeners have compared my style to the likes of Eddie Vedder, Dave Grohl, and Rob Thomas from Matchbox Twenty. I have had the opportunity to perform on BBC Introducing stages at festivals in the South West and have even enjoyed the surprise of being played on national Polish radio. With a music degree and years of experience playing in local scenes across Pakistan, Plymouth, Manchester, and Birmingham, I am now exploring the vibrant music scene in London where I have been playing for exciting crowds across the city!
