Growing up an outsider as a first generation South Asian in LA's San Fernando Valley, KOAD has been making music in his parents' garage since they gave him a beat pad for Christmas at the age of 13. With only one other track previously released, KOAD has already caught the attention of music industry titans like Alex Tumay, Rahki & BROCKHAMPTON. His debut single “pots ‘n pans'' is a raucous and raunchy salvo that depicts KOAD’s interpretation of childhood and youth.
