KWN Shines Bright in Sold Out LA Show

'With all due respect,' KWN is here to stay. Transitioning from an independent artist to a global performer is a testament to her vision and hard work. With the release of her EP in 2022, fans eagerly awaited her full-length album, 'With All Due Respect,' which launched in summer 2025, showcasing KWN's determination to claim her rightful place in R&B.

On October 21, East London's superstar kicked off her US stretch of her first headlining tour in front of a star-studded sold-out show at Echoplex in Los Angeles. As the lights dimmed, and the band's percussion and keys amplified the room, fans gathered in tight for the WN and only the KWN. Deafening KWN chants echoed throughout the venue until KWN graced the stage. Her presence and charisma embody the moment that she is. Draped in denim on denim, KWN’s mic is on as she takes the stage, performing ‘No Cinderella.’

Taking a moment to express her gratitude to her fans and her journey and how different things were a year ago, she dives into the personal, powerful, and emotional track ‘Lord, I’ve Tried’: “This month's paycheck spent/And I haven't paid my rent/ Oh, I need peace. Man, my car broke down. Just when I wanted to leave town.’’

Her hometown is who she is, and she shared that with Los Angeles as she brought out London artist Scribz Riley to perform ‘Sweetie.’

With fans gifting bras and messages on signs throughout the crowd, KWN continued to command the stage with her chart-topping hits, 'Do What I Say,' 'Stand on It,' and 'Back of the Club.' The atmosphere was euphoric as it felt like a choir was behind her. Fans did not miss a beat or ad-lib. Her sensual, playful songs had fans in a frenzy as KWN performed ‘Talk You Through It.’ Midway through, KWN embraced the moment as fans shouted her songs word for word.

As KWN broke the internet with her ‘Worst Behavior Remix’ video, it was only fitting to end the show with the breakthrough single ‘Worst Behavior Remix’ with Kehlani watching from the crowd.

If you didn’t know of KWN after tonight's sold-out show, she made you a fan. KWN has no ceiling, as her dreams are closer than they appear. From opening for Kehlani to headlining her first sold-out show in Los Angeles, the world is her oyster.
