A little over five years ago, 19-year-old KIAN burst onto the scene as he sung the hook for Baker Boy's “Cloud 9”. Fast-forward to 2022, and KIAN has been impossible to hold down. Releasing the 4x Platinum certified, ARIA Top 20 hit "Waiting" as the lead single from his debut EP BLISS, he’s since nabbed multiple APRA Awards, become a two-time ARIA nominee, toured internationally, collaborated on Duckwrth’s “Quick”, and released 2020 singles "Every Hour" and "Sunbeam".

Now, KIAN is heading into his most accomplished and personal territory to date with new EP ‘SHINE’ which is set for release on August 26. Working with producer Willie Tafa (ONEFOUR, Ariana Grande, Baker Boy), and enlisting the talents of artists such as Jerome Farah and members of hip-hop outfit 1300, KIAN has carved out a body of work that showcases a musician hitting his creative stride, while embracing his own personal and professional maturity.

Following on from recent singles "Fit In Here" and "Direction", KIAN’s latest single and the EP title track “Shine” is the sound of KIAN welcoming life, growth and adversity, and using these experiences to emerge wiser and bolder.
