KIN is made up of artist Grace Strickland de Souza (Gracie Souz), Mae Brink Edwards and actor Adam Collier (National Theatre, RSC, Sydney Opera House) and their previous member was actress Ritu Arya (Umbrella Academy, Red Notice, Feel Good). Their work in theatre, film and the performing arts is what originally brought them together.

As an independent band they have already been streamed over 420k times on Spotify without a label behind them. They have been featured in publications including Rolling Stone, People, Vogue, ELLE, Earmilk, Refinery29 as well as had global airplay including multiple features on BBC Introducing, RTE2 FM, Amazing Radio, RTM.FM and Soho Radio. Their music has also been incredibly popular on college radio stations across the USA, which has enhanced their American fanbase.

Fresh from a UK tour (including sell-out shows at the Exeter Cavern and The Grace), KIN have performed at venues including Colours Hoxton (Charlie Ashcroft, Amazing Radio), The Victoria (Jaguarshoes Collective), The Grace (DHP), The Finsbury (Get In Her Ears), Folklore, and Tramlines Festival (The Library Stage). They’ve travelled to Chicago to play Reggies’ Live and to film a live session for DZ Records. Additionally they’ve been featured on MTV and the new online series Get On by Roobi.Live, filmed at the 606 Club.

KIN are champions for diversity and inclusion in the industry and are part of many exciting projects including a monthly Instagram Live series called Tune In With KIN. The series aims to bring artists together to discuss the music industry and is helping to create a growing community of independent and diverse musicians.

2024 will see the release of their debut EP, Wide Awake.

Single / February 2024

Party Anthem

Party Anthem is KIN’s most ambitious and darkest work to date. Written in 2020, the song was inspired by the Reclaim the Streets movement that was taking over London at the time. A party should be a celebration, but women can’t always be at one (or leave one) without questioning their safety. And often there's that one guy discussing conspiracies in the kitchen that you’d just like to roll your eyes at and escape from! The song embodies this feeling with siren-like guitars, grungy bass line and melancholic sampled electric piano.

Recorded at Supervox Studios in East London, the record was produced by Josh Tyrell (Mark Ronson, Lana Del Rey, Tony Visconti).
