We say

Downtown Kayoto is the project of Zimbabwe-born, Hull UK-raised musician Chiko Chinyadza. He’s been building a reputation for his genre-blending and unpredictable sound, having gained some serious Radio 1 plaudits, including being named a Future Artist and a Radio 1 Introducing ‘Track of the Week’. Alongside this, his music has seen support from Apple Music/Beats 1 (Pharrell Williams, Zane Lowe) and press praise from Pigeons & Planes, Lyrical Lemonade, Clash and GUAP Mag, among others. Produced by Frankie Scoca (Dreamer Isioma, Lo Village), In2you is a sublime dose of lush, agile R&B tinged with UK garage. COLORS, The Line Of Best Fit, Notion, Dork, Dummy and many more are fans, and we expect love from Radio 1, Kiss, 1Xtra and Reprezent Radio will follow soon. Signed to London label Other Projects, the rising star has recently supported Tkay Maidza and Finn Askew and performed at the Reading & Leeds festival and The Great Escape this year. With more new music to follow in early 2023, Downtown Kayoto is an artist to keep tabs on.
