It’s been non-stop for Children of Zeus since<br />
the release of their Travel Light album<br />
Words_Sophia Nyananyo<br />
“We<br />
made this music hoping a<br />
few people from our city<br />
would hear it,” claimed Manchesterbased<br />
outfit Children of Zeus after<br />
wrapping up a tour of Australia and<br />
New Zealand recently. “Who knew<br />
we could go to the other side of the<br />
world and have a venue full of people<br />
singing along to every word!”<br />
The music in question is the neosoul<br />
and jazz to R&B and ’90s rap that<br />
fills their critically-acclaimed Travel<br />
Light longplayer.<br />
Konny Kon is a DJ, MC and<br />
beatmaker best known as one third<br />
of Broke‘N’English, while Tyler Daley,<br />
also known as Hoodman, went from<br />
being respected MC to in-demand<br />
soul singer, lending his vocals and<br />
writing credits to music from Goldie,<br />
LSB, Soul II Soul’s Caron Wheeler,<br />
Lenzman, Lisa Mafia, Bugsy Malone<br />
and more.<br />
After their paths crossed, the pair<br />
made a few tracks together here and<br />
there. Since then, their sound, hype<br />
and vibe has grown organically until<br />
the pair decided that the “time was<br />
right” for the release of Travel Light.<br />
“We’ve not looked back since,”<br />
says Konny.<br />
catches up with Konny<br />
and Tyler before they embark on the<br />
second part of their UK tour in May.<br />
