Kiefer began playing piano as a child and producing beats at around age twelve, moving from San Diego to L.A. to study under renowned jazz guitarist Kenny Burrell at UCLA’s Jazz Studies program. The pianist and producer released a breezy hi-hop instrumental 'Superhero' a couple of weeks back. Now, he follows up with a new single 'Friends', alongside an animated video by Mason Londo. The new track is reminiscent of the soundtrack for 90s playstation game Rayman; the synth is otherworldly and full of hope. Chunky bass and beats add the hip-hop element that's ever-present in Kiefer's productions. Fragments of jazz piano and keys cast a nostalgic tone, spliced between the broken beats. Kiefer's 'Friends' transports you to another land completely, but also one of comforting familiarity. Check it out here. -Ellie Rose-Davies
