Kevjet - The Podcast with special guest LIE NING

In this episode of Kevjet - The Podcast, I sit down with LIE NING live in Spacehouse Studio and we discus their recent move from Berlin to London, the challenges of adapting to a new city, and the importance of community in their life and music. They reflect on their upbringing in Berlin, the influence of their mother, and how their experiences shape their artistic expression. The conversation delves into the significance of visual storytelling in music, sustainable touring practices, and the desire to create emotional and engaging live performances. LIE NING also shares insights on their new EP, exploring themes of fun and serious societal issues, and concludes with personal reflections during Kevjet's quick-fire questions.

ARTIST BIO

Growing up in Berlin, LIE NING was exposed to a mixture of languages, images and melodies from an early age on, creating an interest for dance, fashion and fine arts. Music especially. From early on his mother showed him a world of rhythm and melodies, which would never let go of him again. His voice emerged as the most powerful means of expression. Everything he couldn’t convey visually he wrote into songs.
With his EP “traffic songs for the inbetweens” the young singer delivered a debut of impressive maturity, depth and international format. Still in a balancing act in between indie, soul and r’n’b, LIE NING creates intense pop-moments and emotional pictures in dreamy landscapes that got sharp edged. With his highly anticipated debut album lined up, LIE NING opens the gates to a parallel universe and reveals a layer of his very own utopia. One of many.
What builds a person? How does society reflect on a persona? Who defines success? Who am I? Where do I stand and for whom? A society is built by many factors, contributes and components. So is a personality. "utopia" is a deep dive into one of many facettes of LIE NING lead by velvet vocals and intriguing intensity towards the place of deepest emotional vulnerability. Where realities collide. Welcome to the cosmos. LIE NING.

Welcome to utopia.
