Canadian Based Hamilton Music Award Winner, and Ghanaian by birth, Kae Sun will be hitting the road fresh off a performance at CMJ in preparation of his new EP, set for release on Last Press Label/AWAL on August 14th.

Headlining and festival slots are slated throughout the summer, with a full album-release tour planned for the fall.

His debut, Soliloquy released in January 2006 won "Hip-Hop Album of the Year" at the Hamilton Music Awards.

That prompted a contract with World Vision as an Artist Associate and cover stories with both Hamilton's VIEW Magazine and Kitchener/Waterloo's ECHO Weekly, as well as acclaimed press in the Hamilton Spectator, McMaster Silhouette, London Free Press, MonkeyBiz and Music in Ghana.

Furthermore, Kae Sun has shared the stage with Jackie Richardson, DK Ibomeka, Shad K, Jimmy Swift Band, Ohbijou, K-os, Bob Egan of Blue Rodeo, Vanderpark and many other Canadian bands and musicians from across the genre map.

Live, Kae Sun is a force. Each stage performance, whether performing alone, with an acoustic act or full band, is a spiritual journey encompassing the best of the secular and sacred paradigms at once. Kae Sun's music is heartfelt, thoughtful, incisive and critical without being exhaustively didactic.

While combining traditional African rhythms, the characteristic boom bap sound of hip hop, and spirit cleansing soul, Kae comments on social issues and provides a much needed dose of spiritual emancipation. He abandons bling for brains, and his words both embrace and transcend the human condition."

Whether rhyming or singing, Kae Sun reminds you that while there is eternal beauty among us, there is always work to be done to make things better for everyone.

A true testament of the engagingly personal culture of Western Africa, Kae Sun is the perfect blend of old and new, foreign and familiar, groove and soul.

Political, spiritual, prolific, melodic and soulful, Kae Sun proves that hip-hop is flourishing without the shackles of demeaning lyricism, gangsta-intonation and negativity.
