Kina Becomes First Italian Artist to Hit 1 Billion Spotify Streams
Kina’s journey from self-releasing to international recognition is a testament to his unique blend of lo-fi, bedroom pop.

Kina’s journey from self-releasing in a provincial town of Naples to international recognition is a testament to his unique blend of lo-fi, bedroom pop. The world knows his songs; now it’s time to know the artist. (Visit him online here.)
At just 24 years old, Kina has reached multiple platinum certifications with his moody, lo-fi pop anthem “Get You The Moon.” Utilising the talents of writer and vocalist Snøw, “Get You The Moon” saw a snowball effect on social media. “Get You The Moon” flooded TikTok For You pages all over the globe and went viral on SoundCloud, earning its status as a viral sensation.
The single’s unique flavour of melancholy lo-fi brought a new sound to the forefront; before Kina, very few lo-fi producers had reached the global success and recognition that Kina has seen since its release. It secured Kina’s place as the first Italian artist to reach one billion Spotify streams for an original single. Catching the attention of renowned record labels, Kina’s track was re-released through Columbia Records during its rise to fame.
After spending 450 days on Spotify’s Global Daily Charts, “Get You The Moon” is now certified platinum in seven countries (US, Australia, France, Mexico, Poland, Portugal, and Canada) and reached gold status in five more (Denmark, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK). From self-releasing on SoundCloud to a global sensation, Kina’s story is a testament to the unstoppable power of the internet when it discovers an incredible song.
