About
Also Known As Your New Favourite MC
When Kiernan Forbes linked up with his fellow schoolmates to form a group called Entity, little did he know what was in store for him. KORA Award nominations along with setting the hip-hop music video landscape ablaze were testament to the sense of innovation that were part of his genetic makeup. Entity went on to establish their credibility with their smash hit “Touch N Go” and A.K.A’s stock was increasingly on the rise, featuring on material from artists such as Loyiso Bala.
Unfortunately due to the journey that is life, Entity were forced apart by the various new roads each member wanted to venture alone. A.K.A’s path remained en route towards musical superstardom. He linked up with his musical mates, Buks and Kamza to form a production collective known as The I.V. League. His passion for production kept him active in music, albeit behind-the-scenes.
Whilst in the shadows producing records with The League, he’s been taking the time out to craft his solo career. His influences, ranging from the acoustic to the electric, are well represented in the music he's making. With the entire soundtrack to his thoughts and views being woven by The I.V. League, A.K.A is looking to be honest yet engaging, something he’s been able to do as time is on his side, piecing together his album one life experience at a time.
On a quest to constantly evolve, his outlook only inspires anticipation as to how he’ll apply himself, whether it’s on stage or on the next musical outing. His journey has just begun and the route is mapped out. His next stop you wonder? The top. Obviously…
