Klumzy Tung
London wordsmith Klumzy Tung is known for producing a mix of non-conventional freestyle, songwriting and live performance which has taken him all over the UK and Europe.
Although mainly regarded as a Hip Hop artist, Klumzy has spent the last 10 years experimenting with many different styles and genres. Starting out as a UK Garage MC, he went on to flirt with Drum n Bass, random comedic songwriting as one half of ‘The GobFathers’ alongside Beardyman, learned to play guitar and most recently penned and composed his forthcoming, acoustic debut solo album ‘Happy Accidents’. His eclectic style has made it near impossible to pigeonhole him as an artist and his success can be attributed to the combination of his (humble) unique humour and commentary on his socio-economic surroundings.
Ever the experimenter, Klumzy also prides himself on creating quality and creative music videos
