Kid Koi is bringing something fresh to the music scene as he combines his charming personality with music that makes you want to move. This combination shines through his single ‘Who’s Dat’, which brings a splash of dance to rock-pop melodics and a vocal dance performance. Drawing on a range of influences spanning blues to hip-hop, his music tells a story and shines like a beacon of light through the darkness of the world.
Kid Koi’s musical journey started at the young age of 4 when he joined the 3rd street Music Academy, which ultimately led to enrolling in the California Institute of the Arts. With a degree in guitar performance, he joined a band where his performance saw him gain popularity. He is now wrapping his musical skills and philosophy around his own music that connects with and inspires anyone listening.
‘Who’s Dat’ has a flair of light guitar in the opening, that has a touch of folk and Latin vibes. For the simplicity of the opening, it is undeniably captivating and leads you to an interesting beat. The melody brings together melodic elements that you might not think will work together, but are utterly perfect in their merger. As the single progresses, the interesting beats get a dance shuffle that coils in your muscles, making you want to move. This drops for a smoother flow on the verses, but the energy it brought remains in the low levels. The melody is packed with a fresh and bright energy that is a lot of fun to listen to and gets you moving. This energy shines through each new melodic element that is added.
Kid Koi’s vocals slide smoothly into your senses, but there is an undertone to his performance from the start, that brings a bounce to the single. His performance jumps from one moving note of the melody to the next in the most engaging way. The engaging performance draws you into the story of the lyrics that tell the tale of someone who achieves their dreams to the shock of everyone around them. The vocal performance that slides through the verses leads you to a slightly echoing chorus. The chorus is extremely catchy and you are going to be singing along while having an absolute blast to the track.
Kid Koi blends musical elements to create the catchy, engaging, moving and seriously fun single ‘Who’s Dat’, that you are sure to be singing along to before the end. The melody has a wonderful movement from a relatively simplistic opening to a moving slightly dance vibe. The vocals bounce over the melody, drawing you into the story of the lyrics, before getting you to sing to the chorus.
