KYKO releases his infectious new single ‘Horizon’ on September 2nd through LAB Records. Taken from his forthcoming ‘Wildlife’ EP, due for release in Winter 2016, Horizon is the soundtrack to your Indian summer. Tropically infused-pop with a driving Afrobeat backbone, it defies one’s ability to sit still and listen.

‘Horizon’ premiered over on The Line Of Best Fit, and can be streamed below.

The follow up to singles; ‘Native’, which was chosen as BBC Radio 1’s ‘Introducing Record of the Week’ and saw him take to the stage at the 2016 Radio 1 ‘Big Weekend’; ‘Pull Me Up’ and ‘Animals’, which have collectively amassed an impressive 3 million streams on Spotify.

KYKO has today been announced as part of the line-up for ‘Made In Chelsea Presents’. The live show, taking place on the 12th Oct 2016 will see KKYO perform alongside Lawrence Taylor and Secret Company at the iconic 100 Club, London. Tickets on sale Thurs 1st Sept @ 10am here http://www.seetickets.com/tour/made-in-chelsea-presents-/

KYKO is here to test the limits of pop. Born from a desire to move away from the confines of standard ‘singer-songwriter’ conventions and connotations, Scott Verrill, the 20-year-old talent behind the project, looks to forge his own path in the world.

South London born and raised Verrill, a multi-instrumentalist with a feverish passion for experimenting, has been crafting noise since reaching his teens. Raised in a household rife with the sounds of Paul Simon and British bands like The Jam, Verrill strives to combine his musical background with his passion for modern pop music and it’s ever evolving form.

As the project has expanded, so have Verrill’s ambitions. Now that it’s out for the world to see (“music is worldwide nowadays… that’s the most exciting thing for me”), Verrill is looking towards the future. “I’ve spent four months in the studio, just writing… I want to push it somewhere different. I’ve been experimenting with different genres and people [including Ellie Goulding collaborator Jonny Lattimer].” Everything’s coming together for KYKO as he prepares new EP Wildlife for release.

Praise for KYKO:

“Supporting the energy and spirit of what sounds like a full band on his own shoulders, KYKO’s musical and instrumental depth is impressively streamlined for a solo musician.” – Indie Shuffle

“Native is a travelers dream that may just make you pack a bag, buy a ticket and go. It’s the palm tree and sun emojis. It’s the soundtrack to a peripatetic life.” – The 405

“A mature, soothing return, KYKO’s gossamer voice is set against a soft synth bed and those laser-guided guitar lines.” – Clash

“Scott Verrill is the musical mastermind behind KYKO, the guitar-y and super emotive act that we promise will be everywhere in a couple of months time.” – Wonderland
