My real and stage names are kiLian Ateh. I’m bilingual, London-based and recording independently. Besides music, I’m sensibly into fashion, design and most things that come with it, from photography to art and film. I’m actively into football as a sport and form of exercise.

 

I was born and raised in Cameroon, West Africa where I spent most of my teenage years.

I went to boarding school and even though the lectures were in English, it was rarely used amongst friends; we mostly spoke in Pidgin (broken English). Growing up, I listened to A LOT of hip-hop and rap music, always trying to recite most of what I heard or thought I heard, from the piles of pirate CDs I bought or could get my hands on. This was my primary practice of the English language... and I picked up the accent in the process. My parents did however speak fluent English but I was away 9months a year!

 

I’ve just put together a 4 track demo called the White Collar Hustle and currently doing live performances to promote my work. I did a beer commercial for the African Nations Cup campaign; shot in London and aired in most of West Africa.

 

I blog a lot, www.kilian.vox.com, occasionally on Facebook and rarely on Myspace.
