Kilian Ateh - It's ON, out 2nd November

29th Sep 2009

Born in Cameroon, the bilingual West African grew up showing strong interests in music, art, entertainment and everything in-between. 

As he went through boarding school stage dancing at college discos and social events, Ateh honed his self-taught choreographies that were greatly influenced by the likes of GinuwineUsher and Michael Jackson among others. His passion made him popular as he went from college to college hosting and performing - arguably the finest attributes that have moulded the entertainer he is today. 

Kilian began writing and rapping while sitting at his boom box for hours rewinding and reciting line after line of2Pac’s Brenda’s Got A Baby, a Nas record or yet another Jay-Z anthem. Mix and bootleg tapes only enhanced his fierce addiction, but he soon grew out of mimicking popular songs and moved towards a more authentic and heartfelt approach to writing and making music. Kilian’s eloquent verses, diction, brash style and daredevil approach towards music and the industry sparks a Lupe FiascoKanye WestCommon or Andre 3000comparison. 

‘It’s On’ gives a exhilarating introduction to Kilian’s take on music - a summery care-free breeze of Rhodes chords meeting snappy brass and punchy drums, with Kilian’s cheeky lyrics to top it off. 

Currently signed and recording under the V Style Media Group, Kilian also hosts a Blog and Freestyle Friday session where he promotes and releases new material. Kilian knows how to rock the crowd and has already performed at several locations in London, Brighton and Glasgow. Current show dates are being finalised and will be published on his website soon.
