Info for Living On The Wild Side

After the release of his acclaimed debut album “In the Devil’s Court” in 2017, gigs in Luxembourg, Europe and Colombia, and an inspiring and stimulating 3-months stay in New Orleans, Kid Colling and his Cartel are back with a new opus.

“Living on the Wild Side” has a wilder sound that highlights the transition to a more alternative blues rock. The search for a new sound, the desire to honor the roots while avoiding clichés, as well as the endless energy packed into the songwriting all define the sonic identity of this new album.

A regular on stage, Kid Colling played many shows in Europe including openings for John Mayall, Aynsley Lister, Larry Carlton, Taj Mahal and Keb Mo.

It’s with ingenuity, passion and a contagious energy both powerful and delicate that he embodies the world of an alternative blues rock: a contemporary mix of blues and rock enriched with soul and a groovy rhythm. Influenced by guitarists such as BB King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, The Black Keys or Joe Bonamassa, Colling expresses the roots by the warmth and the generosity of his sound and guitar play. His creative approach to music as well as the groove and catchy melodies, make him a reference as a singer-songwriter in the world of blues rock and beyond.

Kid Colling

Kid Colling
is a Colombian-Luxembourgish singer-songwriter and guitarist. From an early age he was drawn by the magical sounds of the Mississippi blues and the rhythm and swing of the big bands: the blues had touched his soul. At age 16, he got his first guitar and immediately knew that music will be his life. Colling is a graduate from the American School of Modern Music in Paris where he discovered jazz music and learned from such greats as Peter Giron, Rick Margitza, Manuel Rocheman or Christopher Culpo. Colling is constantly looking for collaborations and projects in order to broaden his musical horizons. After singing with Marly Marques in a rhythm & blues band and playing the guitar for the harmonica player Dave White, he works since 2014 with the American folkblues singer Ilene Barnes.

”I think being a musician is a life choice. It is a hard path to go! I don’t do this for the glory, I chose this way because I think it’s the most honest part of me, and because it makes me feel kind of free of this mad world.” (Kid Colling)

This album contains no booklet.
