Kanou’s always had a passion for music and expressed it various ways growing up from instruments in school/county orchestral bands,talent shows, musical theatre performances, into his social media career. He’s always found a love and a passion on stage performing; this led to his want to figure out where exactly this was supposed to lead him. Looking at everything he loved he found the common thread was always music. It was the one thing that got him through times he didn’t think he’d see the next morning to celebrating his live performance, with other social stars/artists, closing the Main Stage for Playlist Live a social media convention hosted in Orlando, Fl annually.
After finally piecing together everything he realized the choice to pursue his Artist career was the right decision. He had found support growing up from his Grandmother, Candyma, who he says is a big push to continue to strive to be a better artist. Kanou has always tried to pave his own way and not rely on being handed a silver platter. Life hasn’t always been easy for him, but he thinks that’s one of his greatest vantages over everyone he’s learned to preserver through things at younger ages than anyone should, as well as has accomplished many great achievements over the years. He also thinks it gives his music a relatability to an audience that isn’t always so easily connected with. Kanou wants to use his pain, trials, victory’s, and everything else life gives him fins the parts that may even have multiple different messages with a single verse to remind people the heart of music is to connect.
With Candyma, Kanou’s Grandmother, passing away last November he has already said that he will be taking 50% of the proceeds from his first performance back to donate to Cancer and Remission non profits as to be dedicated to her for her never end belief in him from his adoption day until her last. He hopes to start back in the Winter Season of 2023/Spring 2024.
Kanou is currently in production of three new tracks, with two planned to be released as singles within the near future. He is currently in the process of working with Wesley Stromberg, Charlie Snyder, and Tommy Thrasher. Kanou plans on continuing to branch out to create new cross genre opportunities as well as expand his musical capabilities. Kanou is excited for the new direction and outlook he’s found for his music. He plans to Executive Produce one of his upcoming music videos as well as have his hand in casting and everything backend. Understanding every side is critical in his opinion not very detail, but being able to see the amount of work each team does as well as him allows him to remain humble and remember to continue to stay focused on his career.
Kanou is planning on having an EP out for summer for everyone to enjoy windows down or out in the sun. He is excited to share a combination of tracks that will pull your heart strings, but you know he’s got some party essentials hidden up his sleeve, and ya know what remix’s are to come either. Kanou has had a bug the past few months missing touring, and would love to get back to it. He has started a pre-planning process for what he’d like that structure to look like and is hopeful to have more details soon! Kanou is always looking for other writers,artists, and creatives to work with and collaborate with. He has started to post more music related content on his stories on instagram, tiktok, and snapchat. Kanou is currently using his Subscription feature on instagram to give sneak previews and give fans an opportunity to have a direct input on music before he records, might even influence a change or rewrite in the track.
