In today’s music landscape, independence has become more than just a label—it’s a movement. Few embody that spirit better than Kingsavy, an independent artist determined to push forward with his sound, his vision, and his authenticity. With a growing catalog on YouTube and SoundCloud, Kingsavy has been steadily building momentum, crafting music that reflects both his influences and his individuality.
In this exclusive TedX Magazine interview, Kingsavy sits down to discuss his journey, his creative process, and the inspirations that continue to shape his artistry.
TedX Magazine: Kingsavy, for readers who might be discovering you for the first time, how would you describe yourself as an artist?
Kingsavy: I’d describe myself as someone who is fully committed to the grind. I’m independent, I’m self-driven, and I believe in creating music that comes directly from my experiences. I don’t box myself into one sound or one lane. My music reflects the highs, the struggles, and the lessons I’ve learned along the way.
TedX Magazine: You’ve released music across platforms like YouTube and SoundCloud. What role have those platforms played in your growth?
Kingsavy: They’ve been everything to me. YouTube has given me a visual platform where people can really see my energy, not just hear it. SoundCloud has been a place where I can release music freely and connect with people who are hungry for something real. Together, they’ve allowed me to reach listeners worldwide, all while staying independent.
TedX Magazine: Who have been your biggest musical influences?
Kingsavy: My influences come from a wide range of artists and styles. Of course, I’d say first and foremost—myself. Believing in myself has been the foundation of my career. Beyond that, I look up to icons like Michael Jackson, Bow Wow, Beyoncé, Chief Keef, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, and newer voices like Glorilla, Briya Jordan, and Mayarra. Each of them has shown me different ways to approach music, whether it’s through performance, storytelling, or raw energy.
TedX Magazine: What do you feel sets you apart from other independent artists?
Kingsavy: I think it’s my ability to merge influences without losing myself. I take inspiration from legends, but I always put my own stamp on it. I’m not trying to sound like anyone else. I want people to press play and instantly know—it’s Kingsavy.
TedX Magazine: Independence comes with challenges. How do you stay motivated and focused?
Kingsavy: The challenges are real—no label machine behind me, no shortcuts. But I look at that as a blessing. It forces me to learn the business, to connect directly with my supporters, and to keep my integrity intact. Motivation comes from knowing that every song, every video, every step I take is mine.
TedX Magazine: Looking forward, what can fans expect from you?
Kingsavy: More consistency, more visuals, and more music that speaks to both where I’ve been and where I’m headed. I want to keep building this platform, expanding my reach, and showing people that independent artists can thrive on their own terms.
TedX Magazine: If you had one message to share with young creatives chasing their dreams, what would it be?
Kingsavy: Believe in yourself even when nobody else does. Trust your instincts, put in the work, and don’t be afraid to take risks. At the end of the day, you’re the one writing your story.
Kingsavy is more than an independent artist—he’s proof that self-belief and persistence can fuel a career without compromise. With his eyes on the future and his sound rooted in both classic and modern influences, he’s carving out a lane uniquely his own.
