Biography

As a boy, he began to play the piano and then guitar with noticeable results. He soon became able to play five instruments with no teachers and, following advice by a close friend, hitch-hiked to Hannover, Germany, and managed to perform some songs he had written to the famous German-Turkish disc jockey and record producer Mousse T., who was greatly impressed by the singer's music. The DJ then decided to produce the song "Just look at us now" for Kakande's first album "All nite madness".

In summer 2006, he became famous in Italy with the single "You you you" from "Little red bag", an album released later. The song was chosen as the main tune of the Italian well-known TV programme "Festivalbar 2006" and as the advert melody for an important telephone company. It was also used as the official football anthem for Trinidad & Tobago national football team at Germany 2006.

The 2007 re-release has a dance remix by Alex Gaudino & Jerma.
