1. Congratulations on the release of your EP, how do you feel about it ?

KACE: It's great to finally have the EP out! There's a sense of relief in sharing these songs and stories. Honestly, letting go of the tracks after the mixing and mastering process felt like a real hurdle, so it's great to have them out in the world.

2. You've come a long way from your early releases like Windrush, 48 Hrs and Eastenders project. How would you describe your growth as an artist over the years ?

KACE: My music has really evolved alongside my own life journey. What I experience and learn outside of music directly shapes the sounds and themes you hear. So, as I've grown personally, that growth is reflected in the music I create.

3. You have a fine selection of tracks on his project, what one is your favourite and why ?

KACE: It's tough to pick a definitive favourite because it often changes, but right now I'm really feeling 'Bun The Babylon'. The energy and bounce of that track just resonate with me.

4. Your music is very wholesome and deals with themes, what made you want to tell your story through them and did you draw from real life experiences ?

KACE: This EP is definitely rooted in my personal experiences, particularly my challenges and interactions with authority. I think that's why 'Bun The Babylon' feels so cathartic – it's a direct expression of how I felt after being detained.

5. What do you hope fans take from listening to your project ?

KACE: Ultimately, I hope listeners are left wanting more and perhaps gain a deeper understanding of my experiences and some of the societal issues I touch on, whether it's systemic racism, corruption & more. 

6. What can we look forward to from you, are there any music videos, short films or live shows in the works?

KACE: Absolutely! I'm excited to announce a headline show very soon, so keep an eye out for those details. And yes, music videos are always in the pipeline. In fact, the video for 'Wool In Our Eyes,' which we filmed in George Town, Guyana, drops on April 16th.
