Kasi

Kasi is not a show-off, not an overachiever, not even one who mimes the winning type. In general, he is little concerned with perfection, is rather in search of authenticity. Between youthful naivety and mercilessly adult self-reflection, rap, guitar sounds and singing, going and staying, Kasi very consciously allows contradictions. The only thing that is clear is that the constant dichotomy draws him and at the same time makes him one of the most exciting new discoveries that the German music market has to offer in 2023. The 22-year-old Frankfurt native creates a sound that reflects Kasi's musical socialization with astonishing precision and in which he seems to be completely absorbed. Upbeat, melancholic indie pop elements mix with casual rap delivery and formless vocal melodies - the perfect framework for Kasi's lyrics, which oscillate between world-weariness and lightness.
