KINGDM: Mysterious and Mesmerizing

Are you ready to fall head over heels for KINGDM’s dark alt-pop? Born and raised in a small northern Italian city, KINGDM began playing piano when he was five – after hearing Chopin’s «Fantasie Impromptu». He now splits his time between Los Angeles and Europe.

He is a very secrete and mysterious artist who doesn’t reveal much on his identity and journey. In fact, if you try to make some researches on him, you risk to be very disappointed. Besides a few black and white pictures, all we have is the music - and when you are as good as KINGDM - that’s the only thing that matters.

The songwriter/ producer started to unveil music in 2016 with the solar and EDM infused track «Can’t Get Over You» quickly followed by «Baby» featuring Kevin Garrett. This song showed a musical evolution and a more alt-pop sound that was going to shape the musical direction he is taking now. If «Say It Again» and «Superman», the two other songs he unveiled that year kept this electro and summer vibe, KINGDM took two years to find a way to combine all of those different influences into one body of work that is his new single, the addictive «Your Love» featuring vocals by Soran and Red Cragun.

This track exactly reflects the image that the artist wants to display: an alternative and dark but mesmerizing and intriguing vibe blended with a mysterious image. In an oversaturated industry where artists prefer to put themselves in the spotlight, KINGDM - just like H.E.R that we introduced to you a while ago - prefers to do the entire opposite and stay in the shadows to let the music speaks for itself. The nocturnal electronic undertone, catchy melody and main lyric: «It’s your love, you got me thinking about your love» gets stuck in your head which is definitely a good sign.

The minimalist music video basically includes a woman texting someone throughout the whole song. That’s it. There’s not much to feed our curiosity, is it? The only thing we know is that KINGDM is gaining more and more recognition in the industry. «Can’t Get Over You»reached No.1 on HypeMachine and racked up over three million streams on Majestic Casual, becoming one of the most streamed songs on the channel while the three following tracks were premiered by Zane Lowe on Beats 1.

It’s just a matter of time before KINGDM invades your playlists, your radio and your music world. You have been warned.
