Kiilanda is a California native who specializes in prolific songwriting, lyricism, and production. The self-proclaimed “audio geek”; started her musical journey to become an artist at the early age of 15. Her signature sound is a melting pot of various styles combined into a finalized blend of skill. You can find threads of R&B, jazz, and gospel stitched into the fabric fibers of her music.
All though heavily influenced by Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Dre, and Snoop, her fun and edgy sound calls to mind rappers like Missy Elliot, Lizzo, and Chance the Rapper. Her love for everything music-related is what keeps her creative chemistry in the lab flowing.
After an eight-year hiatus, Kiilanda decided it was now time to drop her debut EP “31“. The 6-track project touches on life experiences, love, getting older, and being a modern-day millennial. On the song Mid-Life Crisis, Kiilandadisplays her lyrical ability while crafting a flow that compliments the bounce of the beat perfectly. Last Days of Summer is a heartfelt song where she copes with the loss of losing a loved one. These two songs couldn’t be any more different, but together they illustrate what life is like for her from all angles.
“31“ is now available on Soundcloud, so do yourself a favor and check it out. For more music-related news, booking information, and business inquiries, you can contact Kiilanda on both Twitter and Instagram.
