International R&B star KWN spoke with LIVEWITACE ahead of her BET Awards weekend, where she’s nominated for Best New International Artist.

She opened up about her journey, from being dropped by her label to the viral success of “Worst Behavior,” a song she first recorded on Instagram Live. After selling it directly to fans and catching Kehlani’s attention for a remix, the track took off.

KWN also discussed breaking into the U.S. market and learning to navigate TikTok with help from her director, Chris Chance.

She teased her latest single “Do What I Say” and her upcoming debut project, dropping June 20.

The conversation wrapped up with KWN naming her Mount Rushmore of singers: Michael Jackson, Usher, Brandy, Beyoncé, and Musiq Soulchild—whose songs “Halfcrazy” and “Merry Go Round” hold a special place in her heart.

With a powerful voice, fearless authenticity, and a growing global audience, KWN’s star continues to rise and this is just the beginning
