From a chance meeting, to collaborating on records in the span of a few days, Jack Page and Kubla’s musical connection runs deep. Both rising soul artists in their own right, the two joined forces for a string of shows across Kubla’s native Canada last year, in between weeks in the studio. This summer they will reunite again for a special London show to celebrate their upcoming releases. Joined by Basile Petite on bass and Sam Notman on drums.

With his distinct blend of soul, jazz and pop, Jack Page is quickly becoming one of New Zealand’s burgeoning young artists. Debut release ‘The Days, Pt. I & II’ was graciously received by listeners near and far, racking up millions of streams online and pressing to vinyl.

Jack’s sophomore record ‘Slow Movements’, released with LA indie label B3SCI (Moses Sumney, Babeheaven, Marian Hill) moved him from the soul world to somewhere closer to the neo-classical, combining piano with strings into an intimate 38-minute studio film.

Now fresh off a move across the globe to London, his latest record ‘Run Into the Night’ has him back in his wheelhouse, with the release garnering support from the likes of BBC and Apple Music. With new music plus dates across Europe looming, Jack Page is on a roll and has no intention of slowing down.

The project of Kubla was born in early 2019, when he released his premier singles ‘Changes’ and ‘Missing U,’ both inspired by the turbulence of his quarter-life.

Releasing his first full-length album—Close to the Sun—in 2023, Kubla’s music has reached a wide audience across the globe. Still playing shows across the city either solo or with his band of friends, he aims to spread his musical message worldwide through the quality of his production, storytelling, and songwriting. 

This is only the beginning for the 29-year-old, as his project turns 5 years old in 2024 and is continuously improving, evolving, and attracting more collaborators. He plans to put out a new album he recorded live in his house, tentatively named “Xanadu,” in mid-2024.
