Kwn Lyrics

kwn (pronounced kay-wuhn) has always been around music. Growing up in Walthamstow, east London, the 22-year-old artist (as of June 11, 2025) was always surrounded by R&B, garage, house, pop and rock. "My dad used to be a DJ," she says. "So anything you can imagine, I've had in my house."

By the age of 11, kwn decided that it was music not football that would be the centre of her life. So her sister introduced her to a friend who was an artist and had a studio set up at home. It was there that she learnt how to record vocals and put a song together. "I started making beats. Whenever I used to go to sessions with producers, I would sit there and watch everything they do to absorb as much knowledge and I was putting out songs on SoundCloud," she pauses, laughing. "And I hope to God they don't come to see the light of day again. But I thought it was the bee's knees."

Ever since, she hasn't stopped making music. Her laidback sound is perfect for fans of night-time drives and artists like 070 Shake, Ty Dolla Sign, or her co-manager and fellow east London artist Scribz Riley who she collaborated with on "Introduce Myself".

Now, the rapper, singer, songwriter and producer is ready to put out her debut single "wn way or another", a relatable track about that toxic ex that you still get drawn back to every time ("I'm here for you rain or shine / But you still feel the need to lie ") along with a video shot over a few days around London, inspired by the video for A$AP Rocky's ode to Rihanna, "D.M.B".

For now, kwn is basking in the glow of finally releasing her first track. "It's a big riddim for me, I can't lie, it means a lot to me. I'll always remember that time in my life, it was a learning curve for me. I just can't believe it's about to come out. It's mad overwhelming."
