Clinton Kane is a 20-year-old musician with Filipino-Norweigan heritage. During his childhood, Kane spent time living in Perth, Australia and the UK and has taught himself an extensive army of instruments including guitar, piano, and drums. He rose to prominence in 2016 when he started uploading covers to his YouTube channel, his first being of a James Arthur song.

Since amassing an army of fans, Kane has continued to document these heartrending diary entries in songs. Last year, he signed to Columbia Records (Tyler, The Creator, Harry Styles) and released his emotional debut EP, ‘this is what it feels like’.

Bloody loads. For the last three years, Kane’s been steadily uploading home-shot videos of your fav heroes straight to his YouTube channel. There’s a spindly take on Drake’s ‘Summer Games’ to dive into, or perhaps even his stripped-back versions of songs from The Weeknd, Jorja Smith and more.

But if you want something truly fresh, his latest solo single ‘So I Don’t Let Me Down’ is the perfect place to start. Upon its release, Kane said that song is about having to accept the fact that life is constantly changing – for better or worse. “I like to be in control of everything that happens and wanna be in the know,” he says about his creative process and life. The way he’s learnt to deal with it? “Cry in a corner,” he says. We hear you.
