A poetic love story produced by R-Kay, ‘I Want You’ was  inspired  by Kadeem’s brothers’ proposal to his childhood sweetheart and perfectly captures the essence of love with its uplifting, floaty production and romantic lyrics. Written and recorded over the lockdowns, each song on the forthcoming project  was  created  virtually with an incredible range of musicians, all whilst Kadeem was sitting in his utility room. Hundreds of zooms, WhatsApps and voice notes later, the project was born and is his proudest work to date. During a time of darkness and isolation, this creative process generated a shared joy amongst Kadeem and the artists involved and the  time alone pushed him, even more, to make  things happen.

Honing his craft over the past 5 years, Kadeem rejects the pressure to conform and isn’t afraid to meld R&B, Neo-Soul, Garage, House, Pop and more to express what is within. Battersea born and bred, his surroundings were (and still remain) hugely influential to him, growing up in the same area as the iconic So Solid Crew, the game-changing collective paved the way for him to follow his  dreams. Further afield, he was inspired by some other legendary names such as Donnell Jones, Brandy, A Tribe Called Quest and D’Angelo as well as his South London piers including Ego Ella May.

Still early in his career, he holds on to one specific achievement closely which involved collaborating with Foot Patrol – a company he used to work for – and Puma. The surreal moment of going from working under, to partnering with them, was a full-circle moment and one he cherishes. Throughout his career, Kadeem has never been one to rely on labels with his hustler mindset willing to take on jobs to cover costs and in turn, allowing him to own everything he creates. By day he is working as a Royal Mail Postman, by night, he’s performing around the capital and is quickly becoming one of the most exciting voices within the UK landscape and beyond. With a headline  show coming in August, Kadeem is known to excel on stage having performed at the legendary Jazz Cafe, The Great Escape, 696 Festival, Lafayette and more, his performance portfolio is ever-growing and one not to miss.
