KHG KALM is quickly establishing himself as one of the UK’s most exciting and adaptable rising voices. Born in London and raised in Birmingham, he draws heavily from his Jamaican and Panamanian roots, creating music that fuses cultural influences into a sound that is both eclectic and uniquely his own.
In little more than a year, KALM has showcased an exceptional drive, dropping over 40 songs across eight different projects ranging from mixtapes to EPs. Each body of work highlights his ability to slide effortlessly across styles while maintaining a clear creative identity. His latest release, For the Ladies 2, a five-track collection steeped in R&B and Afro-Caribbean flavours.
Labeling himself a “Hip Hop Hybrid,” KALM builds from the sounds that shaped his upbringing—hip-hop, soul, jazz, dancehall, and reggae—crafting a multi-layered style that feels versatile yet deeply authentic.
Momentum around his name is steadily growing. His music has been featured four times on DJ AG’s platform, expanding his reach to new listeners, while performances such as his slot at All Points East Festival 2023 have reinforced his reputation as a strong live act.
