2022 is bringing with it many things. From the prospect of new beginnings to hotly-anticipated movie releases and, according to the news, plenty more hype-worthy fashion collaboration. But, above all, the one thing we are most excited about is the revamp our Spotify playlists are going to receive as some of the UK’s fastest rising musical talents set out to treat to the world to a slice of their incomparable sound. With this in mind, we could not think of a better way to kick off the new year than by introducing you to the artists set to dominate the music industry in 2022. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy Wonderland’s Ones To Watch round-up.

Alot of artists came hard last year, but none came at us full throttle quite like Kam-Bu. With bounds of energy and finesee, the artist launched himself on to the scene with his experimental EP “Black on Black”, and never looked back. Ending 2021 in style with attention across the board, the ever-cheeky Kam-Bu discusses his breakout year for our Ones to to Watch 2022.

Check out the interview below…
