Kawala
Starting their musical journey while studying in Leeds, North London duo Jim (vocals) and Dan (acoustic guitar, vocals) quickly developed a distinctive sound as an acoustic indie-folk act, finding inspiration from a range of musical styles. Deriving from their joint love of close vocal harmony, and rhythmic finger-style acoustic guitar, the pair started writing songs inspired by the likes of Bombay Bicycle Club and Half Moon Run.
After moving back to London with the aim of expanding their sound, they added a full band - Ben (drums), Reeve (bass) and Dan Lee (electric guitar). Their sound has developed through the use of afrobeat-esque drums, atmospheric electric hooks and strong rhythmic bass, yet still maintaining the focus on the core indie-folk two part vocal and acoustic, as showcased on their debut album, "Better With You", which entered the UK Top 30 in March 2022.
