“Writing is what I do best,” admits Kadis, a singer/songwriter with TimeWarner Company, Warner Chappell, “and music helps to amplify the message that I’m trying to get across,” he adds.

Indeed, Kadis’s gift for writing was apparent since young - as a kid, Kadis would often write poetries. By his teens, he would indulge in writing his journals as a sort of therapy to deal with the "craziness" around him. At 17, he picked up the guitar. That marked the beginning of merging his writing with music.

“Writing my journal and music was a way for me to deal with the emotional turmoil I was facing, growing up without a father figure,” he says.

Whilst still in school, Kadis continued to hone his writing skills while combining his love for music. For instance, Kadis was already writing for JUICE, a dance music magazine, where he would go on to interview dance music luminaries like UK’s DJ Steve Lawler and France’s Mirwais Ahmadzai. He then went on to contribute to other renowned magazines such as ELLE, CLEO and FHM Collections (to name a few).

“I’ve always felt like an outsider in my own country. I tend to express and articulate the unconscious of society through my writing and music - like a sort of social voice box. And because of that, I think it has made me a rebel by default,” says Kadis.

Rebel or not, Kadis’s flair for writing soon caught the attention of an executive at music publishing company, Warner Chappell, who then offered him a music publishing deal. This deal offered him another vehicle to express himself – music.

Kadis’s brand of music blends introspective songwriting and strong melody lines against a backdrop of pulsating club-savvy beats. So what results are songs with confessional lyrics melded with dance music sensibilities which just "swims into your mind", as he wrote it in his song "Liquid Love".

“The message of love is truly universal. It cuts across all boundaries and is something that everyone can relate to. Just listen to the lyrics,” says Kadis.

Kadis has not written any posts yet.
