Welcome to aKadem

Hailing from Kent, we are an upcoming band that formed at school and since then have exploded onto the music scene with our high energy and young talent. 

​

The name 'aKadem' draws inspiration from our formation, similar to the word Canterbury 'Academy' where we met and started gigging together. Our sound first developed when we played covers at gigs, putting our own spin on popular songs to draw in a crowd. 

​

Writing our own music bloomed from the Soundclash competition hosted by Olby's Creative Hub, in which the requirements were to perform sets solely of original music. For the duration of the competition we continued to write music, our style and sound developing more with each track, focusing on metaphor-riddled lyrics and a driving rhythm section, all tied together with signature guitar solos.

​

With every gig that has come our way we perform a mix of covers and originals to tailor to audiences while promoting our new music. We are now using our very own sound equipment and in the near future we will be in the studio recording our very own music.
