kwn

East London singer, songwriter and producer kwn is at the forefront of a new frontier of R&B with her fearless songwriting, unmistakable voice and genre-blurring production. Balancing raw sensuality with striking emotional vulnerability, she has quickly established herself as one of the UK’s most exciting new artists. 

Following the breakout success of with all due respect—hailed by Rolling Stone, Billboard, The FADER and more as one of the standout releases of 2025—kwn has continued to build significant momentum on both sides of the Atlantic. The project earned her nominations across the BET Awards, BRIT Awards, MOBO Awards, NAACP Image Awards and iHeartRadio Music Awards, alongside a Rising Star nomination at the Ivor Novello Awards.

In June 2026, kwn released her acclaimed follow-up EP, and all pride aside. The 11-track project features collaborations with Destin Conrad and Ty Dolla $ign, alongside fan favourites including “touch myself”, “risk it all” and “good girl”. Expanding on the sensuality and confidence of her earlier work, and all pride aside reveals a more introspective side of kwn, exploring desire, heartbreak, regret and grief while pushing further into her distinctive, boundary-blurring production. From the unapologetic sensuality of “all fours” to the emotional honesty of “rather never love again” and “heaven’s in your hands,” the project further establishes kwn as an artist unafraid to embrace both vulnerability and provocation.

That evolution has been matched by an increasingly international presence. Following sold out headline runs across North America and Europe, kwn has taken her live show to major stages and festivals around the world, including Roskilde Festival, Montreux Jazz Festival, Lollapalooza and All Points East. In June, she also made her BET Awards performance debut on the BET Amplified Stage, further cementing her growing international profile. With over 650m global streams, a rapidly expanding international fanbase and a clear, uncompromising creative vision, kwn is continuing to redefine what modern R&B can sound and feel like. Already recognised as one of the genre’s most compelling new voices, she is building a career that reaches far beyond the UK and helping shape where R&B goes next.
