Russian-Iranian hip-hop duo KIALLA was formed in 2018 on the west-side of Chicago.

Male vocalist and producer of KIALLA, KIA (Kia Abhari), was a part of Iran’s hip-hop scene for many years, collaborating with some of the most prominent hip-hop artists. He released his solo EP F(x) in 2016. It was shaped by merging industrial sounds with atmospheric middle eastern motives.

Via (Violetta Valeeva) was one of the first female artists in the Russian hip-hop community and participated in a variety of hip-hop battles. In 2010 she released an album with former crew members and, after that, ventured out to travel the world, learning about different cultures and expanding her artistic perspective.

KIALLA is a part of the OUTSET collective that aims to support creators from different cultures and countries.
