Afra Kane
Afra Kane, born in Vicenza, Italy, began playing the piano to accompany church services. Her talent was recognized early, leading her to classical piano training at prestigious conservatories such as the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama in Cardiff, Wales, and the Haute Ecole de Musique de Genève in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. To satisfy her wide-ranging musical interests, Kane soon tried her hand as a singer/songwriter, blending her classical training with elements of jazz, soul, R&B, future funk and more to create a nuanced, cinematic sound. In 2019, she was awarded the Montreux Jazz Talent Award.
A series of singles ensured further recognition and reach, with “Mouth Open” being voted the prestigious “Record of the Week” by BBC Music Introducing. The debut EP “Scorpio” in 2019 was followed by an international tour, ranging from headlining shows in New York City and Europe to a sold-out performance at Café Carlyle in Hong Kong. Kane's debut album “Hypersensitive,” which was rich with expansive production, soulful sensibility, and Kane's truly unique lyrical perspective, was released in 2022. With her Warner Music debut album “Could We Be Whole” released in spring 2024, Kane is now ready for another milestone in her musical journey.
