About Kraken
Artist Biography
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. My earliest memories are the freestyles I would put up on Facebook as a middle schooler. That was my first time presenting my talent to the world and while often times I was joking, those times gave me the confidence to be where I am today.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? J. Cole, The Off-Season Kanye West, The College Dropout Kendrick Lamar, To Pimp a Butterfly These albums are a culmination of what I love to place into my own music. TPAB: The blackness that serves as a theme for the album. College Dropout: The unique hip-hop story. The Off-Season: The bars. Blend all those elements and you have Kraken.
Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Touchdowns” Although it is about football, it's one of my most vulnerable songs detailing my experiencing and tying it back into how I choose to go about my career in hip-hop. This is not one you want to skip. None are, but you get the point.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? My most memorable moment was touring HBCU's this past fall. I loved having the opportunity to connect with the students and faculty alike and made some great connections. I look forward to seeing them again.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Festivals, Tiny Desk Performances, COLORS performances. I mainly measure my success not off accolades, but more by which platforms allow my to share my gift. If I am doing these types of engagements then things are certainly going great.
