Kairo

Kairo Williaqms is a reggae and world-music artist from Kingston upon Thames, whose music reflects the journeys, influences, and stories that connect the Caribbean, Africa, and the wider world. 

Born in Britain to parents of Jamaican and Barbadian heritage, Kairo grew up surrounded by a rich mix of musical traditions. His sound draws on roots reggae, dub, lovers rock, and Caribbean rhythms, while also embracing African influences that stretch from the Indian Ocean coast to the heart of the continent. The result is music that feels both familiar and fresh—grounded in tradition but unafraid to explore new directions.

Rather than chasing trends, Kairo focuses on songs that tell stories of travel, identity, belonging, and the connections between people and places. Drawing inspiration from the Caribbean, the energy of London, and the rhythms of Africa, his music exists in the space where cultures meet and new ideas emerge.
