Gueorgui Linev - better known as Bulgaria born phenomenon Kan Wakan - creates inviting, soulful worlds by weaving together analog and orchestral textures. Every track is an immersive surrender that brings rapture to the weary and finesse to the wild. From his elegantly ethereal debut album, 'Moving On' (which hit #37 on the Billboard Heatseekers Album Chart ), to the sublimely angular, 'Phantasmagoria Vol. 1' (which spread like wildfire in the world of TV placements), Kan Wakan explores “the borders of trip-hop, acoustic balladry, and psychedelia" (The Fader), tempting the listener to abandon the bottomless scroll for a delicate, charming slow burn. Following the release of Moving on, Linev was named one of Yahoo! Music’s 11 Best New Artists, signed to Verve at Universal Music Group, and listed as one of LA Weekly’s 10 Best Young LA Songwriters. And that was just in 2014. Phantasmagoria Vol. I (2018) went on to make headlines at Nylon, KCRW, Hype Machine, and features his hometown heroes, The Sofia Philharmonic Orchestra, on string arrangements. Linev’s expertise has been employed by the likes of Thundercat and Moses Sumney, among others, and most recently caught the attention of rapper Baby Keem. A re-imagining of Linev's ‘Unlucky’ sits as the third track on Baby Keem’s new album The Melodic Blue, which debuted at #5 on Billboard (2021) and also features artists Kendrick Lamar and Travis Scott.
