Kweku Saunderson

Kweku Saunderson was born and raised in New York and if you think the last name sounds familiar, you would be right, as Kweku is nephew to DJ/Producer and KMS label owner, Kevin Saunderson.Unlike his two young cousins (Damarii and Dantiez), Kweku started producing music at 13. He fell in love with the arts at the age of 5 and when he was very young he witnessed a man being shot, whilst he was playing outside. For one so young, it was a surreal moment for him. He felt there was so much negativity on the streets of New York that he would just stay indoors and create music.Growing up, he was influenced by a wide array of music. His father would play songs of every genre (in the home).
