His plan for 2021 and beyond is to book festival shows and to open for national acts whose fans will appreciate his unique voice and engaging stage presence. 

More than anything, Kijana is here to show the world how music can uplift and inspire individual lives. His performances are an outpouring of love and emotional energy and his blend of Pop, Soul, and R&B is powerful enough to propel him to the highest levels of the music industry. The 2020s are going to be big for Kijana and he belongs on the radar of anyone seeking the next great modern R&B singer.
