Kiiōtō

Kiiōtō is the musical love-child of award-winning songwriter/pianist, Rohan Heath, and Mercury-nominated singer/songwriter Lou Rhodes (formerly of Lamb). Their album, As Dust We Rise, sprang out of a chance reconnection, which birthed an inseparable bond, unplanned explorations at the piano in Lou’s kitchen, and a trip to explore Rohan’s diasporan heritage in the American Deep South. Their songs tell the stories of this shared experience and dig deep into the bigger themes of life.
