16-year-old Victorian Artist Signs To EMI Music

We reckon that's pretty alright for 16...

More KIAN KIAN Profile

16-year-old Victorian artist KIAN has today been unveiled as the latest signing to EMI Music Australia.

The news coincides with the re-release of the Castlemaine songwriter's track Waiting; check out the music video below. 


It caps off a huge year for KIAN, who recently won triple j's Unearthed High Competition and performed at Splendour In The Grass this past July and BIGSOUND in September. 

Speaking to The Music in October, KIAN said, "My school has been very supportive of my music and have been willing to create action plans around me being away.

"But while I’m not away, I’m at school and trying to catch up to make sure I’m still passing.” 

KIAN will next perform at Laneway Festival in 2019; scroll down for more details.
