Kehlani

Contemporary R&B
Contemporary R&BHip hop

Kehlani is a Contemporary R&B and Hip hop act. Their sound grew out of Trinidad James, Ambré, Nikki Flores, Cherrie and Dyme-A-Duzin. Those roots explain a lot about how Kehlani arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Kiana Ledé, Ella Mai, FLO, Mariah the Scientist and Chlöe, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Ludmilla, Thuy, Destiny Rogers, Babylon and Kiran Gandhi, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 57 connections around Kehlani, reaching back through Trinidad James and forward to Ludmilla.
