Kiran Leonard

When the Guardian likened him to artists like Ed Harcourt, Rufus Wainwright or Frank Zappa, and Pitchfork did the same to Joanne Newsom, Kiran Leonard was only 17.

Today he is 20, has recorded many other great songs, and will soon release his second album. He will come to show his great talent to the visitors of Pohoda. → read more
