Kamal is a multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and composer from Harlesden. He started playing the piano at age six and began writing songs for the ukulele a few years later. He was born in London to Caribbean-British parents. Kamal's influences range from the likes of Robert Glasper to Radiohead. He was raised listening to the music of Sade, D'Angelo and Erykah Badu as well as UK Rap from Harlesden's Church Road and beyond.
He published his first recorded song 'smilingdownthephone', to Soundcloud. From there, he started working with producer J Moon and the pair officially released the debut song as part of the double-A side 'two missed calls' and 'decline.'
After only a few singles, Kamal was named No. 5 in GQ's Best New Artists and the Telegraph dubbed him the "UK Music's Answer to Billie Eilish." Recently, he achieved success with his first feature performance, with multi-award-winning musician Dave, on his track 'Mercury.' The melancholy cut earned Kamal his first entry into the UK Top 40 and a spot on Radio 1's A List. Kamal's debut EP 'war outside' is set to be released after accumulating over 50 million listens in just one year.
It was written mainly at home, initially through voice notes and laptop samples and captures both the highs and lows of a relationship, as well as the tensions between the intimidating outside world and the solitude of your own thoughts..
