About Kasha

Kasha is a Rap artist from Charlton, London and part of a production team called Vivid Imagery. Kasha's delicately fierce rap style has been likened to the lyrical intensity of Tupac and with all the sparkle of Frank Sinatra. Kasha’s “unorthodox and “inspirational” flow has been described as a breath of freshest air for Hip Hop and he has been labelled ‘the strongest lyricist in the UK’ by Kiss100, "set to explode" by Hip Hop Connection and a "star in the making" by Richard Blackwood. Kasha’s music tells serious stories of his surroundings, the problems in the world and his dreams but all thrown it together in a charming, interesting and often crazy way. Kasha’s Hip Hop is curiously very melody driven and often finds itself throwing out the rule book. This is international Hip Hop but with all the diverse magic of the independent UK sound.
 

On April 6th 2009 Kasha released his debut album called ‘The Oracle’, which was designed to bring back the essence and sparkle of the early 90’s Hip Hop but with 21st century quality and values. The Oracle filled up a huge void in the Contemporary Hip Hop genre typically dominated by Dance and Electro styles. The Oracle opens up the retro sound to a new generation of ears and cultures looking for wisdom, revelation and cool laid back vibes. It has been described as “Inspirational” by Hip Hop Connection.

 

"I take time, blind when i’m writing a line, they scream warrior dead or alive, I wonder if they realise I was raised in a war, what’s the fight? For the poor raw lost child, said it before"

Kasha is patron of 2 UK charities, one of which tackles the problem of knife and gun crime, and he will be releasing a video single entitled ‘You Have A Choice’, which is officially backed by the MET Police. Kasha has already headlined this track at the NEC, The Royal festival hall, Arsenal’s Stadium, The Roundhouse and Ministry of Sound and the O2 Academy. The Other charity is called POP, which looks after AIDS victims in Africa, and Kasha aims to visit this continent later this year. Kasha is also involved with Love Music Hate Racism and Oxfam.

Kasha has huge things coming in the pipeline, not much can be revealed just yet but be prepared to clear a lot of space in your CD rack and upgrade your broadband service. He is a natural born performer, who lives and breathes music, give Kasha an audience and away he goes, he adapts to his environment and makes full use of his surroundings, think the A-Team but on a musical level.

Other things of notable mention; Kasha has worked with actors such as Frank Harper from ‘Lock Stock’ and he also provided one of the top tracks alongside Klashnekoff on ‘The Sting Operation by Top German producer Beezwax This has been very successful in Europe and it’s highly revered amongst the Hip Hop scene. Kasha appeared on the American Album ‘King’s Pawn’ by Klarity and a video for this is currently in Production and he also shows his skills on the ‘People’s Army Album’ alongside Logic and Lowkey, due for release later this year. Last year Kasha remixed Estelle’s International Hit American boy into a version called American Girl, the track was only released as a bit of fun to his fans and a few dj’s but the track soon found itself playing on several commercial radio stations and clocking up over 100000 plays across the internet. Kasha is also sponsored by the American trainer company Kashi Kicks.
