Upbeat, female fronted, classic 4 piece. Their music is unique but accessible which hints at a wide range of influences including the Chili Pepper’s, Lauryn Hill, Incubus and Ian Brown. The band are tight musically allowing the wickedly rhythmical voice of twenty year old Leanne King to flip it upside down and tell you what she’s found. Their live set is crammed full of energy and passion; you can literally hear how much Kyoshi love it!

Ben and Dan are friends from primary school and have been in bands together since the age of 13; they struggled for years to find like minded band members who shared their passion and skill but all along both were under their noses.

Leanne, Dan’s younger sister, had always been able to sing and by the age of 15 in 2000 she had the passion too. That summer, on a trip in Amsterdam, she formed a band with Dan and Ben.

At least five years prior to this Chris was a double bassist in Leicestershire Arts Youth Orchestra and Ben was a percussionist, yet they never knew each other! They met properly at University and instantly formed a close musical and personal friendship. Chris was introduced to Dan and Leanne in 2004 and Kyoshi were born proper.
