Kooldrink ushers new era of Pop Piano with Show Me global release
Bad Habits for Asylum/Warner

Producer and artiste Kooldrink has made his much anticipated global debut with the release of his highly awaited single Show Me featuring the soulful vocals of Nina Nevra.
The track marks the return of Pop Piano, a genre Kooldrink pioneered by blending the pulsating rhythms of amapiano with the captivating melodies of pop. He says that with Show Me, he has not just released a song, but he’s making a statement.
The track’s infectious beats, compelling lyrics, and genre-defying sound signal the rise of a new era in global music. Kooldrink, who has already made waves with his production talents, aims to redefine the music industry by embracing his African roots while connecting with audiences worldwide.
“With Show Me, I wanted to create something that reflects where I come from while also speaking to the world. Pop Piano is about bridging those gaps and bringing the energy of amapiano to a broader audience,” says Kooldrink.
At only 25 years old, the multi-faceted creative has already made a name for himself as the mastermind behind Tyla’s breakout hit Getting Late, a song that launched both of their careers. His extensive list of collaborations includes international superstars such as Ed Sheeran, where he produced the official amapiano remix of Sheeran’s hit Bad Habits for Asylum/Warner.
With over a decade of production credits under his belt for major labels such as Universal, Mad Decent, and Parlophone, Kooldrink is now signed to EMPIRE, expanding his influence across the world. His unique sound, which combines the raw energy of street sonics with the catchiness of pop melodies, has firmly placed him at the forefront of African electronic music.
As the pioneer of Pop Piano, Kooldrink is determined to elevate the genre by fusing traditional amapiano beats with global pop sensibilities, ensuring that his sound resonates worldwide. His goal is simple: “To introduce Pop Piano to the world stage and transform global music.”
