Kawaski "KCentric" Nelson carves out a unique musical niche that fuses modern jazz, hip-hop, downbeat, and electronic instrumental styles of music.

As a native of Montgomery, Alabama he was raised on a healthy dose of blues, jazz, R&B, hip-hop, soul, and gospel music.

The same musical influences can still be heard in the music that he remixes and composes for himself and others.

KCentric began his music career writing and performing as a solo artist, and later with the neo hip-hop group A.L.I.A.S that he helped form with his cousin Kalonji Abdul in the mid nineties.

It was while producing on the A.L.I.A.S. albums that he began to delve into other genres for inspiration such as vintage jazz, classical, folk, trip-hop, and electronic based music.

Since his earliest days, he has frequently sought alternatives to the musical mainstream. He continues to push his artistic boundaries through music and various other creative mediums including songwriting, media scoring, digital art, internet, television, video, and indie film projects.

KCentric has been featured on Sirius Radio, international radio shows, and numerous podcasts around the world. He currently serves as a multimedia producer and electronic remixer/composer.
