Kingsley Utip Etim, known musically as Kindy X, hails from Ika Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria.
Raised in Port Harcourt before relocating to Calabar, Kindy’s musical journey began from a place of admiration. “As a kid, I loved how my aunt’s choir ministered. That inspired me to join the children’s choir,” he recalls.
The Spark That Lit the Fire
While music was always present in his early life, Kindy X’s turning point came unexpectedly. “I followed a friend to a show one day and got so motivated. Before I knew it, I was in a studio.” That spontaneity birthed a passion that’s only grown stronger.
Musical Influences
Though unapologetically a 30BG Davido fan, Kindy draws creative inspiration from a diverse group of artists. “I really vibe with Kidi, Buju, and Flavour,” he shares. These influences shine through in his melodies—catchy, soulful, and proudly African.
The Struggles of an Emerging Artist
For Kindy X, like many upcoming talents, the biggest hurdle is financing. “Funding a project now looks like you’re killing yourself,” he says with a laugh, masking the seriousness. Promotions, radio airplay, and social media visibility all cost money. “This lane is lonely; friends barely support,” he adds with raw honesty.
Creative Process & Energy
While many artists rely on external influences, Kindy prefers raw energy. “Some get high before making music, but not me. The vibe and energy have to be 100% real.” He believes every song should carry weight and authenticity—a testament to his focus on craft.
Milestones & Goals
Despite the hurdles, Kindy X has hit notable milestones. “I’ve made hit songs and had the chance to feature at big street parties. But my ultimate dream? Performing at the Calabar Carnival—the biggest in Africa, maybe the world.”
Current Projects
His upcoming single “NA GOD DEY SAVE MUMU” featuring Mr. Bless is one he’s banking on. “It’s on hold now due to issues with the video director. But I’m taking my time. This might be my breakout moment—you never can tell.”
Dream Collaborations
Looking ahead, Kindy X hopes to collaborate with names like Challex De Boss, Faya Gyal, InternationalBoy Silver, Upper X, and even the legendary Dagrin Usoghede.
Beyond Music
Outside the studio, he’s passionate about football—another world where rhythm, pace, and timing are everything. His advice? “Don’t ever feel discouraged or intimidated. You’re not always good until you become relevant. Keep doing your thing. And no forget say “Na God Dey Save Mumu”—NGDSM!”
