Artist Spotlight: Kase Sounds

kase_main
Kase Sounds is a singer, songwriter, and musician. Having experienced the beautiful, rich cultural heritage of Ghana, Kase later arrived in London, England along with his older twin sisters at the tender age of 8. He went on to firmly place his roots in the church, where his first encounters of music derived.


He states ‘…prior to coming to the UK, I really have no recollection of music in my life, not really. Even after arriving in London to join my mum, I wouldn't say there was ever much music in the home, apart from the sounds of Hosanna! music artists like Ron Kenoly. So I have no idea where my love and inclination for music, playing, creating, writing, came from. I can only say that it’s a gift God gave me…’

At primary school Kase learnt to play the drums, bass, keyboard and guitar, which he progressed himself by ear. This proved beneficial as it gave him the opportunity in his teen years to be musical director for his then church, and be sought after by other musical groups and churches who needed help with their music department.

In 2010, having released 2 secular R&B/Soul tracks, Kase finally made that decision which he had always battled with internally and decided to solely release Inspirational and Gospel music; a process of growing pains, which caused him to re-evaluate his direction. This led to an opportune meeting with Jamaican-born Jazz and classically trained pianist Andrew Christopher
Young. This meeting of minds was the driving force in establishing Kase’s current sound of Soul, R&B, Jazz, Funk, Latin, and contemporary fusion, particularly towards his live material.
Kase Sounds is currently in the process of recording his first helping of material. The release date for this long-anticipated album is yet to be determined.
