Kunde, is a Belgian-Cameroonian rapper, producer, and multi-instrumentalist that blends his own brand of hip-hop with elements from jazz, P-funk and Afrobeat.

​

Growing up surrounded by his father’s Pan African polyrhythmic music and his own

collection of nineties hip hop, he fell in love with beatboxing and beatmaking at the age of ten. Later, the Ghent-based artist worked his way up to the piano, the mic and the bass guitar. He is completely self-taught which adds to his unique sound, reminiscent of artists such as Anderson .Paak, Patrice Rushen, Quincy Jones, Fela Kuti, and Kendrick Lamar.

​

'Dandelion' his debut LP released on W.E.R.F. records (2024) and centers around his journey to Cameroon using storytelling, rap, fieldrecordings and intricate jazz infused arrangements to tell a greater story around topics ranging from neo-colonialism to indentity struggles and toxic masculinty.

​

Much like his previous instrumental album ‘Meanwhile’ (San-Kofa Rhythm Records, 2021) and his EP ‘From Roots to Fruits’ (Mellow Minds, 2018) he harmoniously intersects different musical genres into a groovy and colorful whole.
