Kanii is a 20-year-old artist and songwriter from Washington, D.C., now based in New York, who has quickly emerged as one of the most exciting voices in a new generation of genre-blurring pop. He began releasing music from his bedroom in 2020 and broke out in 2022 when his track “Attachment” went viral on TikTok. Since then, he’s racked up over a billion streams across platforms, earned both gold and platinum plaques, and even landed on the Billboard Hot 100 with his hit “I Know.”
Kanii’s music pulls from a wide range of influences—R&B, Jersey Club, hyperpop, and hip-hop—blending soulful vocals with punchy electronic production. Inspired by artists like The Weeknd, Dijon, and Beyoncé, his sound is as emotional as it is high-energy, pairing raw honesty with undeniable polish. His work has been praised by outlets including PAPER, Billboard, and Rolling Stone, and his genre-defying music have even been featured in Fortnite.
With multiple EPs already under his belt (exiit, it was nice knowing u), Kanii continues to expand his artistry. His most recent project, #BLUE, is a coming-of-age body of work that showcases his creative range and vision, transporting listeners to a bold new world. Following viral moments and high-profile performances—including opening for PinkPantheress—Kanii is now set to embark on a highly anticipated Europe tour, bringing his electrifying music to stages across the continent.
