Spotlight On

Born and raised in Port Harcourt, Kaestyle found his calling in music the first day that he was introduced to the piano, intrigued by all the melodies the instrument could produce. Influenced by fellow Port Harcourt natives Burna Boy and Omah Lay, Kaestyle fuses Afrobeats with R&B, soul and hip hop to create a sound that is distinctly laid back. From his debut EP, Kae’s Study (2022), that produced the broody single “Moving Mad” and the hit remix “True Love (feat. Victony)”, Kaestyle has made a name for himself as an artist who isn’t afraid to buck tradition and push sonic boundaries.

First To Know

“It feels amazing and surreal covering this playlist as this is my get-away when I seek inspiration,” Kaestyle tells Apple Music. “Dreams do come true.”
