KANGA

Kanga is an an up-and-coming music producer/DJ based out of Seattle, WA US

He has been making music for over half his lifetime, growing up in Minnesota where he was influenced at an early age by the thriving Minneapolis Music Scene, and where he started out working with the Emo/Pop-Punk genre.

He evolved into producing music, originally making Trap and Hip-Hop beats starting in 2010.

Though he tends to draw his inspiration from within rather than from others, he was particularly influenced by Prince, who’s creativity, innovative style, fearlessness, hard work and discipline in creating his own sound and brand he greatly admired.

Other influences came from Whisper Like The Waves, Damietta, Of Salt and Swine, Sing It Loud, Brand New, Story Of The Year, Fall Out Boy, All Time Low, Soulja Boy, 808 Mafia, Earth Wind & Fire, Michael Jackson, Skrillex, STS9, Daft Punk, Deadmau5, Kanye West, Drake and Kolombo.

After graduation from the Saint Paul Conservatory for Performing Artists, he began experimenting with DJ-ing in Chicago in 2014 while attending Columbia College there to study Audio Engineering and Sound Design.

He experimented with spinning with various genres and artists, trying to formulate sounds and push the boundaries of what could/should and could/should not be mixed.

Today, Kanga creates a unique blend of Funk House, Nu-Disco and Tech House. Everything he produces and spins is designed with the intention to stimulate people’s inner rhythm and to get them to dance!
