Duncan Karis

At the age of 16, what started as poetry for the Kenyan hip-hop artist, Duncan Karis, quickly evolved into rap, not as a career move, but as a lifeline. His verses became his journal, his therapy, his truth. With his debut project, Certified Citizen, Karis introduced himself to the world; not just as an artist, but as a force. Certified Citizen is the sound of a young artist stepping into his own, claiming his place, and beginning a journey to reach his highest heights. Certified Citizen was a milestone. Karis is also hands-on in his production, working closely with some of Kenya’s finest producers—Tyrell Dolla, Mosense, AN21 KE, Meyraki, and NGE-THE- PRODUCER. His latest collab project with producer An21 KE (THE RECIPE) is selling in all online stores. For Karis, music isn’t just what he does. It’s who he is.
