KANDIA - The Video, The Album

Active in the music business since 2007, Kandia have always worked and invested alone. Created from scratch & based on the drive and creative minds of André and Nya Cruz, they have released two discographic works that speak for themselves: the "Light" EP (2008) and the 2010 album "Inward Beauty | Outward Reflection".

Active in the music business since 2007, Kandia have always worked and invested alone. Created from scratch & based on the drive and creative minds of André and Nya Cruz, they have released two discographic works that speak for themselves: the "Light" EP (2008) and the 2010 album "Inward Beauty | Outward Reflection".

In 2012 their third album started to get written together with friend and producer Daniel Cardoso (Anathema) mind-set on a unique and avant-garde sound.

As this goal was achieved, it is now time to work and get this new sound and image to the fans.

Guided by the desire of always being one step ahead when it comes to production and image, the concept of their first single, "Scars" is created, which will be, as usual, directed by the crafty hands of Ricardo Teixeira.

But this video is just the first step. The single and the album must be available to the masses and concerts to promote it must happen both in Portugal and abroad.

Entitled "All is gone" and with an enlightened, simple and straightforward image, Kandia’s third album consists of 12 electrifying songs.

Help KANDIA give birth to this work & show the World that Portugal has just a little something more to show for.
Make your contribution and get fantastic rewards in return, some of it exclusive and you will NOT get it anywhere else other than here.
This is a project made by the hands, minds and hearts of three dedicated musicians that live & breathe music and have been struggling to get their music across.
