Explosive pop music with influences from hip-hop and rockKabeaushé transforms pop music into an explosive, all-encompassing experience. Born in Nairobi and now based in Berlin, the artist moves effortlessly between hip-hop, art pop, rock, electronic music and theatre. His shows feel like an overwhelming trip full of bombastic soundtracks, sharp visuals and raw energy, in which influences from film, classical music and club culture converge. His work has previously featured in series such as ‘Queenie’ and ‘How To Sell Drugs Online (Fast)’, and his intense live shows have taken him to festivals such as Roskilde, the Reeperbahn Festival and Rock En Seine.
With his new album ‘KABEAUSHÉ PRESENTS: IGGY SWAGGERING UNGRATEFUL INCESSANT LITTLE PEEEAAAAAAAA’, Kabeaushé continues to build his extravagant universe around the fictional character Herr Iggy, a paranoid despot who tries to cling to his power at all costs. The music sounds simultaneously grand, chaotic and emotional, with dramatic orchestrations, distorted beats, falsetto vocals and explosive energy.
