“It’s not about making music to get something out of people, but rather sharing experiences, capturing moments and communicating through music and lyrics,” Kae Sun.
I interviewed Kae Sun a year ago which you can check out on The Come Up Show, Kae Sun is orginally from Ghana and he has been living in Canada for the several years. When he returned to his homeland it truly reignited his drive for sharing his raw experiences, the whole EP was recorded on 2-inch tape on a farm in Ontario!!! Kae Sun wanted to focus on sharing instead of dictating your experience when listening to Outside The Barcode.
Recorded on 2-inch tape on a farm in Ontario the raw acoustic songs recall the sense of community and authenticity that inspired the tracks. Kae’s focus was to create a more shared listening experience rather than dictating his audience’s experiences. Continue to the FULL post to check out the recording process of the EP on youtube.
Kae Sun is an artist that I definitely think needs more shine, another reason why I'm happy to post this video on The Come Up Show. You can check our our interview with Kae Sun if you want to learn more about him. When The Pot is off the unplugged EP “Outside The Barcode” out this June for free on Kae Sun's website.
“Outside The Barcode” is an intimate acoustic EP that speaks out about Human Rights, Freedom, and Love amongst many other issues. The EP gives voice to those who are not in a position to be heard, but have much that needs to be said. It has been inspired by Kae’s interactions with and the stories of those living Outside The Barcode in Kae’s home of Accra, Ghana, across the continent of Africa, and around the world.
It's not often we get to interview musicians from Ghana; Kae Sun was in London for a performance and I had to interview him. We discussed his album Lion on a Leash, the transition from living in Ghana to Canada, its influence musically, and what his music is inspired by.
