Downtown Kayoto - Hello World (Official Video)

Zimbabwe born, Hull raised alternative R&B artist Downtown Kayoto invites listeners back into the fold with ‘Hello World’, his first release emerging after a long lockdown.

Releasing his first single in 2019, Downtown Kayoto has quickly established himself, with co-signs from Jessie Ware, Zane Lowe and Nick Grimshaw as well as being Radio 1’s Future Artist. With this he landed the MOBO Help Musicians and PPL Momentum Accelerator Funds.

Following his latest single ‘ROX’, Downtown takes a darker sound with first single of 2021, ‘Hello World’. It acts as a musical reset: "It’s a phrase typed into a new computer program to initiate, before more code is written. It symbolises me placing my flag down into the ground and marking a new starting point both from an artistic and a visual standpoint.”
