Makadi, is an independent American-Canadian artist epitomizing the avante garde outer bounds of R&B/Soul and the next generation of Black eclecticism. Born and raised in Boston, Makadi has been writing music since he was 15. Makadi confidently interweaves neo-soul, singer-songwriter, jazz, folk, and more to consistently push the envelope. Cinematic visuals, vivid storytelling, harmony and vulnerability are at the core of his genre-bending dialect. His stylistic choices and genre-defying demeanor are reminiscent of other Black “monolith-disrupting” artists such as Moses Sumney, Frank Ocean, Sunni Colon, Gallant, Giveon, Childish Gambino and more. From three-time Boston NPR Tiny Desk finalist to opening for Burna Boy and Badbadnotgood, the Bostonian turned Vancouverite marvel has already been deemed an artist to watch.
