Kina joins Matchfy Stars: submit your track directly to his playlist and unlock new opportunities with his team

Kina, one of the most influential Italian artists in recent years, has officially joined Matchfy Stars, opening the doors for emerging artists and producers to connect directly with his musical world. As the first Italian artist to ever reach 1 billion streams on Spotify with an original track, Kina is not just a streaming giant, he's a tastemaker with a global fanbase. And now, through Matchfy, you can send your music to his playlist and potentially catch his ear.

But there’s more. With the new Matchfy Push Pro feature, artists can go beyond simple playlist pitching and request personalized feedback and potential collaboration opportunities directly from Kina’s manager, Luigi Porcari. Whether you're seeking artistic direction or dreaming of future partnerships, this is your backstage pass to a new level of visibility in the music industry.

From bedroom beats to global impact: who is Kina?

Born in Naples in 1999, Kina started producing music at 14 as a way to cope with a disjointed reality. Quiet, introspective, and deeply creative, he quickly found solace in lo-fi beats and melancholic melodies. His breakthrough came with the viral hit “Get You The Moon”, which exploded across TikTok and YouTube before climbing global charts.

The track didn’t just make waves, it made history. In 2024, Kina became the first Italian artist to ever reach 1 billion Spotify streams with an original track, officially entering the prestigious “Spotify 1BN Club.” Today, his total stream count surpasses 2.3 billion on Spotify alone.

Kina’s digital footprint is just as massive:

  • 28 billion UGC views on TikTok
  • 33 billion UGC views on YouTube
  • Over 850,000 Spotify followers
  • More than 1.5 billion views on Instagram content

He’s certified multi-platinum in the US, Italy, and around the world, a pioneer who helped bring lo-fi music into the mainstream.

Evolving sound, deeper meaning

Kina’s signature has always been emotional depth — music that feels personal, vulnerable, and cinematic. But his sound is now evolving beyond lo-fi. Today, he blends indie-pop, nostalgic textures, and upbeat melodies, opening a new chapter in his career that still feels deeply "Kina" but richer and more expansive.

This artistic evolution is perfectly captured in his two-part project: a dual EP release that marks a sonic and emotional journey.

A two-part musical journey: Yin & Yang

Earlier this year, Kina released the first EP of this two-part concept: "Wish I Could Go Back…" A melancholic collection of tracks that reflect on solitude, longing, and self-discovery, the EP was described as “twilight in sound form.” From raw ballads like "Now I’m Alone” with Robin Cause to the introspective “Best of Me” with Clide, this release was the emotional Yin.

But now, it’s time for the Yang.

What’s next: the second EP begins with “Distance”

Kina is about to kick off the second chapter of this journey with a brand-new track: “Distance”, featuring Emma Rosen. The song opens the second EP titled “There’s Always Tomorrow”, and brings a more hopeful tone to Kina’s discography. Bright vocals, a driving drumbeat, and an atmosphere of longing despite physical separation give this track an uplifting and cinematic quality.

If “Wish I Could Go Back” was a dive into introspection, “There’s Always Tomorrow” looks forward: a sonic sunrise after a long night.

The rest of the EP remains under wraps, but if the lead single is any indication, we’re in for a warmer, more connected, and emotionally rich experience.

For the first time ever, Matchfy Stars users can submit their music directly to Kina’s curated playlist. This is a unique opportunity to get discovered by one of the most streamed Italian artists in the world, and to be featured among sounds that resonate with millions.

This isn’t just another playlist. It’s a way to reach a new audience, get algorithmic traction, and connect with a tastemaker who understands how music goes viral.
