KEDUS TAKES US ON A “SUNSET DREAM”
Take a trip into a “Sunset Dream” with Kedus. With a soft voice that travels for miles, emerging Brisbane artist Kedus today shares his soulful debut single “Sunset Dream” on db Music/Warner Music Australia. Stream and download the single HERE.
Layered with smooth guitar chords, bouncy percussion and accompanied by his silky vocals, Kedus’ personalised blend of lo-fi vibes and smooth melodies guides you along to a colourful dimension of wavy highs and ultra-chill moods.
“When I was making the song all I had at first was a feeling. It was an exciting and dreamy feeling” says Kedus. “I harnessed this mood and recorded a freestyle that ended up being the pre-chorus and from there the rest of the track was easier to create. I think that’s why the song brings the same mood”
The track comes also comes alongside an official music video, directed by Jáen.
As a first-generation Ethiopian who was born and raised in Brisbane Australia, Kedus manages to reach a level of depth and introspection that extends beyond his 20 years. Although predominantly R&B centred, Kedus is inspired by all genres of music and doesn’t shy away from the challenge of originality. By artistically layering elements of soul, jazz, trap, hip-hop, dancehall, and indie, Kedus creates a musical experience both unique and familiar, with each track seamlessly transitioning into the next. You never know what you're going to get from the young act and that is the unique excitement he creates.
Discovering his love for writing at the tender age of 11, Kedus immediately began working towards turning his dreams into reality, independently building his own home studio by 15. Since then, he has self-engineered 5 mixtapes and an EP which can all be found on his Soundcloud account.
After displaying his chapters of adolescence through his music, he is moving on to a new stage of life and creating new experiences that are sure to be reflected in his music to come. With each release, Kedus focuses on his trademark flowing vocals, acoustic melodies and atmospheric synths, but develops artistically through his exploration and delivery of his chosen themes and genres.
Stay tuned for more to come from Kedus.
