Press play on the latest offering from Kina, the maestro of melancholic lo-fi.
At the tender age of 24, Italian artist Kina has carved out a space for himself in the music world with his platinum-certified hit, ‘Get You The Moon’. Collaborating with writer and vocalist Snøw, the track emerged as a moody, lo-fi pop anthem that resonated deeply with listeners worldwide.

The track’s unique blend of melancholy and lo-fi elements introduced a fresh sound to the music scene, catapulting Kina into the spotlight and catching the attention of renowned record labels. Columbia Records, in particular, recognised the potential of the track and re-released it during its meteoric rise to fame.
In his recent documentary series, Asleep In A Dream, Kina reflects on his musical evolution, emphasising his desire for self-expression above all else. His immersive lo-fi soundscapes have garnered over 15 billion YouTube streams and earned him numerous platinum discs worldwide.
