She has a big talk, a big walk, and she’s this month’s Fresh Artist. Meet KAAMZ, the Orange County-based Cantonese-American female rapper and songwriter who is making her musical vision a reality. With undeniable talent and a fierce drive, she’s carving out a space for herself in the world of hip-hop, a genre that isn’t always welcoming to Asian American female artists. But KAAMZ isn’t waiting for permission; she’s here to break down barriers and make her voice impossible to ignore. Her journey as an artist started with a bang in 2020 with her debut single, 2.0. Since then, KAAMZ has dropped six singles and one EP, each release helping to refine her unique voice and musical identity. Over the years, she’s crafted a sound that blends the influences of modern hip-hop and jazz rap, resulting in a raw, emotional style that resonates with listeners from all walks of life.

THE MUSIC
KAAMZ’s discography feels like a window into her mind, offering a sonic and lyrical glimpse into her personal journey and identity. Her verses are witty and introspective, striking a balance between braggadocio and vulnerability. There’s a natural ebb and flow to her delivery; one moment, she exudes fierce confidence, and the next, she plunges into the depths of her own struggles. Her sound mirrors this complexity: unapologetically bold, yet laced with moments of softness that carry emotional weight. It’s a style that doesn’t just fit the mold but redefines it.
What’s Next?
KAAMZ’s future is shaped by both her personal musical ambitions and her commitment to giving back to the music community. Through her music-event collective, Back 2 The Burbs, she’s creating a platform for local talent in Orange County to flourish. On the creative front, she’s constantly evolving, shaping new sounds and stories that will continue to inspire and connect with her audience.
