KC Hamada will never fit the mould… and he doesn’t need to.

The local musician’s punk-rock sound intertwines with rap, and he draws on emotion, and impulse to create his Arabic/English freestyle blends. Want to know more? KC joined The Lovin Dubai Show this morning to talk about why video games are where it all started, and how he was chosen by Flash Entertainment’s Regional Artist Spotlight programme.

The local musician is unapologetic about his style of music which he describes as ‘high-energy, loud, brash… not your typical hip-hop”

90% of KC’s audience is actually outside of the UAE, he said his connection with his audience helps shape his sound

I’m not willing to cut corners with the ideas I want to express to the world. It may come across unconventional, I love experimenting.

What is the Regional Artist Spotlight?

Each month Flash Entertainment features a new artist, they have their ear to the ground among emerging musicians in the UAE, finding local talent and giving you the chance to listen to some of their latest tracks.

The platform provides featured artists with unique performance opportunities through RAS Sessions, the live performance arm of Regional Artist Spotlight. RAS Sessions see artists perform renditions of their own tracks and cover well-known songs that have been held at the opening weekend of Ain Dubai – the world’s largest observation wheel, and intimate acoustic performances at Expo 2020 Dubai.
