With a ramshackle pile of vinyl and old calculator bits, he set about changing the music world forever. These formative years were creatively fruitful, nailing tonnes of animated promos for Midfield General (Midfielding), Lo Fidelity Allstars (Sleeping Faster) and a whole host of lousy tribute acts.
At the dawning of the new millennium, the now fledgling Kidda saw his musical attempts committed to wax. Under the guise of Gadji ( โโcause thatโs what you call a bloke from the northโ), the mighty Puma Strut label released a 7โthat was soon to be hoovered up by the baying, vinyl-obsessed-hip-hop-clowns of the world.
This initial foray into soul/funk/Latin/underpant breaks saw the young idiot cut his musical teeth. With an obvious devotion to hooks, drops and hard (fucking) party vibes, Gadji moved crab-like on a sideways tip away from the limitations of hip hop (Stunts, Blunts and far too many fronts). Flying from the Gadji nest and feeling the summer sun on his new found wings, he emerged as Kidda (โโcause thatโs what his brother calls himโ)
The first to look up and catch a glimpse of his magic was Catskills Records, who, on hearing a demo of 5 new tracks, โloved all of โemโ; and so it was to be that 2004 and 2005 saw birth of the Shoe Cash and Word Booty E.Pโs. Both received worldwide love from the likes of Radio 1 (The Blueroom/ Zane Lowe) and Norman Jay (Carnival, N.Y.C., the Big Chillโฆeverywhere).
Just clock the televised footage of N.J. dropping Hey Yโall in the closing moments of the B.B.C.โs โSoul Britanniaโ seriesโฆwhether this indicates Kidda as the future of British soul is unclear. Being crowned Extreme Ceramics Champion 2008 is a far more likely prospect than the bountiful successes of Shakatak.
And yet, the story continues.
A meeting of minds with old muckers Skint Records saw an album deal landed in 2005 and following a very long production process due to โcontinued pilfering of existing musical sourcesโ (read: sampling the fuck out of everything), the album is due to drop in 2008.
This long gestation period has given Kidda time to get his house in order. Firstly nailing the many talents far and wide to appear on the album. Sample replays and co-production were taken care of by Lee โMuddyโ Baker, an old mate and one of those super-talented f*ckers that make you wonder what youโve been doing with your life. His involvement made the whole process โa joyโ.
Vocally Kidda struck gold with the likes of Gary Lightbody (Snow Patrol), Blak Twang, Psycho Les (The Beatnuts/Big City) and local luminaries Jim Oxborrow (smallwhitelight) and soul beauty Laura Vane.
Not one for static, Kidda knocked out two albums of soul-slapped Beastie Boys remixes (On The Bus To N.Y.C., Fake Boogie Tapes) .All who heard, loved and still to this day gaining fans worldwide via that glorified version of Teletext, the internet.
As Kiddaโs profile has been raised from Sunday league to glittering Fourth Division, D.J. bookings have seen him travel to various erm bits of the world. Holding a monthly residency at Londonโs Heavenly Social plus sets in Bristol, Manchester, Lithuania and Brighton.
Extra Curricular shiznits include remixes for Pepe Deluxe (to be released on Catskills forthcoming remix album) and a promo Kidda/Fatboy mash up that Norm liked so much he put it on his new remix long player too. With a sharp mind and deft hand Kidda also built and maintains his own website, kiddamusic.com, it has flashing lights and everything.
Thereโs been a lot of musically turgid water slowly going under the bridge since the Word Booty E.P. in 2005. Yet the Kidda sound is more than a return to form and fresh as whatever. Kicking everything off with V.I.P. โ a slice of jump up Latin hip hop care of Psycho Les, โGoing Upโ is an antidote to the bland, the bored and the static. It laughs, it claps, it goes up. Hallelujah.

The lyrics of Kidda's song "Cataleya" are primarily in Albanian or a mix of Albanian and Spanish. The song starts with the line "Ka je ti?" which in Albanian means "Who are you?" or "Where are you?" The second line talks about riding in a Giro with a Panamera car and mentions Cataleya, the name of the person being addressed. The third line "Pa jelek, latina po dukesh ti o Cataleya" in Albanian means "Without a jacket, you look like a Latina, oh Cataleya", which implies that Cataleya has a Latin beauty about her. The fourth line is "Maje n'mend krejt ekipa krejt ekipa me nivela" which translates to "The whole team is in my mind, the whole team with levels". This line could possibly mean that the singer is surrounded by people who are important to him, and all the members of the team have different skill levels.
The chorus is mainly in Spanish and is repetitive, emphasizing the beauty of Cataleya. It talks about how she looks like a Latina and urges her to come out (dale) so they can spend time together. The second verse starts with the singer saying "You know I love it when you go low," which could mean that he likes it when Cataleya is vulnerable around him. The next few lines use references from pop culture such as Loco and Zorro to describe how they are both wild and unpredictable. The line "Preje preje sikur Zorro" could mean that they are both sharp and quick in their actions.
The song's hook features gunshots and references to VIP treatment, which could imply that the singer and Cataleya are involved in a dangerous or criminal lifestyle. The song's catchy melody and infectious chorus make it a popular party track. Overall, "Cataleya" is a song about a woman who captivates the singer, and he is willing to do anything to be with her.
