Young Old Man is a 3-piece band comprising singer Runson Willis, guitarist Neema Sadeghi and drummer Kiran Gandhi, who also provides the distinctive rhythmic backbone to rapper MIA\u2019s live shows.<\/p>\n

Hailing from the US, the trio blend a mix of tribal, rock, psychedelic and indie influences, which interplay with a bluesy beat and stirring melodic vocals, resulting in a unique soundscape. Their translation of personal narratives into music is heavily influenced by their Iranian, West African and Indian roots, powering their vibes into the listener’s consciousness with reverberations that communicate soul and emotion.<\/p>\n

We caught up with Kiran to talk about magical times in the desert, studying at Harvard and how she sees drumming as a tool for empowering women.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
