Introducing: Kinder
Interview
Ghanaian-Australian duo Kinder—sisters Briony and Savannah Osei—have steadily created a space of their own in the global Electronic scene, blending Afro House textures, melodic club rhythms, and emotive songwriting into a sound that’s as fluid as their artistic journey. Known for their hybrid DJ/live sets and genre-blending approach, the pair have been gaining attention both at home and abroad, building momentum with every release and live performance.
With their latest projects on the horizon, including collaborations with Coco & Breezy, Kah-Lo, and Idd Aziz, Kinder are entering an exciting new chapter. We caught up with them to talk about their evolving sound, influences, and the moments that have helped shape their path so far.
Hi Kinder, how are you both doing?
We are good, there are lot of things happening all once at the moment, so feeling a rush of emotions, but very grateful.
To start, can you share how you first became passionate about music? What initiated your exploration into Electronic Music?
For both of us it was falling love with Dance music. Briony was obsessed with the song ‘Youth’ Adventure Club Remix, and by listening to this song over and over it sparked the idea of becoming a DJ. Savannah on the other hand, fell in love with the Ministry of Sound compilations back in 2009 and begun producing Electronic tracks on the DAW Reason.
How would you say your Ghanaian-Australian background has influenced the way you approach music?
Our music is a very blended sound, just like our cultural background. We take inspiration from both worlds; we have hints of melodic textures and percussion derived from Ghana but then we also incorporate electronic synths and sounds inspired by Western music. We find it exciting to be inspired by these elements whilst not boxing ourself into one genre or sound.
Looking back at your journey so far, what have been the biggest turning points for you?
There have been a couple of “milestone moments”, signing with Warner back in 2020 was one of them. Recently, it has been the support we have received from our music online and working with Idris Elba’s label ‘Sound International’. We also shot a Pepsi commercial which used our song, so that was a pretty big moment for us. There’s also a performance not yet announced coming up that will potentially be our biggest show yet.
How do you balance evolving your sound while staying true to your creative vision as Kinder?
This is a tricky one, because we are really inspired by so many things and are always motivated by new sounds and styles. I think we have made the decision to go with what resonates for us. We have decided that the evolution of our sound is who we are, so if that’s means doing something completely different to our first releases then that’s what we will do.
You’ve supported names like Marshmello, RL Grime, and Alison Wonderland, taking to festival stages that include Field Day, Sunice Festival and Splendour In The Grass. How would you say these experiences have shaped your approach?
We have supported a wide range of different types of artists, so we have really learnt to adapt. Playing to big crowd at festivals really builds your skills and confidence every time, so we just take as practice and an opportunity to learn something each performance. We still get nervous and never take it for granted.
Are there any artists you’ve looked up to along the way who continue to inspire you today?
Vintage Culture, Diplo, Lorde and Charli XCX are all huge inspirations for us. They’re all so different, but we take something from each of them.
The Electronic scene is always shifting — what trends are you noticing, and how do you see yourselves fitting into that?
Yes, I feel like the DJ scene especially online has things moving fast. We actually try not to get absorbed in the trends and rather just go with what we feel because otherwise you’re constantly chasing. We have been trapped by that before and it hasn’t really worked, so I think being true to yourself is the best thing you can do.
With such a diverse range of collaborations on the horizon — from Coco & Breezy to Kah-Lo and Idd Aziz — what do you look for in a creative partner, and what can fans expect from the sound of these upcoming releases?
We feel it’s important to be aligned sonically, doesn’t need to be the same genre, but we just need to vibe with the music. We have been so blessed that all the people we have collaborated with so far have been amazing people, and really align with us on a personal level too, so that’s great.
Finally, where do you see your career evolving over the next five years?
We have a huge goal list, but I think the main thing is, we want to stay authentic and happy making music. We really hope to build audiences and dance with lots more people around the world.
Kinder’s grounded approach to their artistry, led by instinct, collaboration, and an openness to sonic evolution, showcases a refreshing presence in a space often driven by trends. With an expanding catalogue, strong creative vision, and a wave of global collaborations underway, Briony and Savannah are steadily building a project that feels personal, culturally rich, and club-ready in equal measure.
Wherever the next few years take them, one thing is clear: Kinder are committed to growth on their own terms, and they’re bringing the dancefloor and their cultural background along with them.
