Track Premiere: AKA KELZZ – cXnnections

AKA KELZZ has blossomed into a captivating act weaving a tapestry of soulful melodies and introspective lyrics. Their voice—a mixture of velvety warmth and raw emotion—serves as the anchor of their music, transporting listeners to realms of vulnerability and self-exploration.

AKA KELZZ’s sound is a delightful blend of Neo-Soul, Lo-Fi, and Urban Pop, imbued with hints of their Jamaican heritage. As they gain recognition in Berlin and internationally, support from artists like Pip Millet (2022), Madison McFerrin (2022), Shay Lia (2023), and Kaleo Sansaa (2023) has opened remarkable opportunities for this rising star, with the exciting announcement that “new music is coming very soon.”

Their music is a testament to KELZZ’s unwavering authenticity, a bold self-expression that has earned them a dedicated fanbase and critical acclaim. With their enchanting sound and sincere messages, KELZZ is poised to become a beacon of hope and inspiration, reminding us that vulnerability is not a weakness but a strength that unites us all.


Today, we celebrate the track premiere of “cXnnections,” which explodes with flirtatious energy—this vibrant dance anthem is the collaborative effort of two queer powerhouses, AKA KELZZ and Mandhla. The track perfectly captures that whirlwind moment of meeting someone extraordinary—are they flirting? Best friend material? Maybe both? The lyrics weave together shared laughter, childhood memories, and those lingering glances that spark the thrill of possibility. It’s a joyous celebration of the innocent connection we all experience with someone new.

We proudly present AKA KELZZ along with their upcoming ODYSSEY TOUR 2024, marking their first headline tour. With exciting performances lined up, this tour promises to be an unforgettable experience:
