In a slightly discombobulated loft slash studio over-looking the heart of downtown Champaign Sanya N'Kanta and friends are hard at work on his sophomore album "Emergency". He has been an active musician since his teens. His unique sound is defined as a retro-hybrid of hip-hop and electro clash pop meets soul meets hip-hop. He is a talented vocalist as well as instrumentalist, beautifully merging music's technological age with live instruments, many of which he himself plays.

Sanya N'Kanta will be backing up Krukid for his US tour starting March 10th

His newest album "Emergency" is due out this spring on Cash Hill Records. There is a lot more collaboration on this album that the first. One of the songs "Close To You" features JP of the Vatakkin and Krukid.
