Kin Leonn’s music exists between temporal soundworlds and experimental textures, coalescing into a luminous aether. The ‘ambient boy from Singapore,’ Kin creates auditory realms that pulse with the essence of his home city, yet extend outward, lingering at the threshold of recollection — a blend of spatial reveries and dreams of far-off domains, enriched through collaborations that weave together Asia and the UK into his ever-shifting sound.
In 2018, Kin made his debut with Commune, a pivotal album in Singapore’s sonic undercurrent. The album melds upright piano with electronic nuances, crafting an expansive, meditative space that delves into the strata of collective memory and spiritual communion. While based in London for his music studies, the album carried Kin across stages in both Singapore and the UK, weaving a thread between two worlds. A first-class honors graduate from the London College of Music, Kin was honored with the prestigious Spike Stent Award in 2021. His work in multi-channel sound installations includes commissions for multiple art festivals in Singapore, as well as an installation at the Architectural Association in London.
His creative path deepened with a collaboration with Hiroshi Ebina on the 2020 EP Faraway Vicinity. Born from the isolation of lockdown, the EP blends translucent tapestries and fragile harmonies, reflecting the distance between people during forced separation.
One of Kin’s most celebrated collaborations is with the artist yeule, where he co-produced and co-wrote the album softscars. The album received critical praise, with Pitchfork ranking it #10 on their Best 50 Albums of 2023 list. Kin’s collaborations with yeule have also involved artists like Moderat, Lucinda Chua, and Yunè Pinku. In addition to his production work, Kin serves as a mixing and mastering engineer, collaborating with a new wave of Singaporean artists like Subsonic Eye and Blush.
