Today we’d like to introduce you to Kadiz. Them and their team share their story with us below:
You’d think being a musician in 2022 would be easy with all the technology artists have access to. The truth of the matter is it’s more difficult now than ever before. Being an artist takes sacrifice, commitment, and hard work. Urban music more specifically hip hop is a genre of art that reflects a particularly real life struggle for a large group of people. Now add to the fact that you’re from an area not particularly known for contributing to the hip-hop culture, and it makes life that much more difficult. This is what Kadiz aka “The Heart of the City” brings to the table.
Born and Raised in Columbus, OH, and claiming the attribute from the city of his late grandmother, displaying a passion for music. Kadiz can explore just about any genre of music. Kadiz has been singing and rapping since the tender age of seven in church and community choirs. He picked up playing the piano and other instruments at Fort Hayes when he was sixteen and has been amazing audiences with his talents ever since. His songs and style are inspired by artists like Tupac, Nas, Donny Hathaway, and Dr. Dre. Heartfelt lyrics are put together over a variety of sound production. The chemistry that makes him a force to be reckoned with.
Kadiz released his first project with the indie based company Deka Records called “Suitcase of Memories” in mid-2010. Since that time he’s been building both a viral and organic fanbase. His videos have achieved a good amount of success on YouTube, and he’s ready to make a name for himself on the touring market in 2022.
Kadiz is young, charismatic, soulful, and lyrical. All the ingredients to make a young man from Columbus, OH into a star in the music industry. Influenced by the new, and older legends he wishes to one day become one of them.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The biggest challenge of being an artist is there are no guarantees, and this business is built on relationships with people who have no interest in a relationship until it’s profitable. In summary, the help you may need won’t help you until you don’t need help, lol, priceless.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
Ok, so I’m an artist in its truest form. I make music, sing, rap, produce, mix, master, etc. I’ve spent the good part of the last 15 years perfecting my craft from all angles, like most artists, I couldn’t afford to pay for all the services necessary for success in my field, so I decided to learn how to do it all. If I had to choose my strongest talent, it would have to be my writing, I really know how to put those words together, rather it be music or literature. I grew up in the city, most people know for my music, rapping and singing, I’m really proud of both, I’ve grown so much as an artist musically. What sets me apart from everyone is my love the art, I love music, I’m a huge fan, it’s never been about a bag.
If you had to, what characteristic of yours would you give the most credit to?
Integrity, being who I say I am at all times.
