Kian

Castlemaine teenager Kian might not be a household name yet, but Triple J Unearthed followers will recognise his potential (he won the 2018 title). His best-known song, ‘Waiting’, reached the top 20 in 2018’s Hottest 100, which was the first song he ever wrote at the age of 14. Now aged 16, the Victorian hip-hop and indie-pop singer is using his shining melodies and easy vocals give the impression of an artist fully in control of their destiny – and there’s only one way this kid is heading.
