special k


Based in Belfast, KALLA was raised on a mix of 70s soul, blues and later finding different tastes of Hip-Hop. He draws on these in influences, the works of Jimi hendrix and John Mayer in particular along with adding his own expressive twist to create his unique sound. 

The foundation lies with expressive drum lines, a rhythm section that lives to make the listener sway along, KALLA's love of mixing in blues guitar lines with hints of jazz and soul. All of this is tied together with lyrics, that in his own words hopes to, "connect with people the same way music connected with me when there wasn't much light at the end of the tunnel".
