Fronted by Jordanian / Canadian singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and composer Qais Khoury, Pinwheel Valley (formerly known as KAIS) takes the complexities of the human condition as inspiration for their fusionist sound, as they sonically meld the genre blends of Indie Soul, Mellow Alternative Rock and Folktronica. Turning their attention to the drab difficulties and profound beauty of being human, Pinwheel Valley's work consists of finding the balance between natural inclinations and the demands in an ego-driven late-stage capitalist world, as they strike both sonically and lyrically with equally iridescent and pastel aural tones.
A group that has toured Vancouver, Toronto and Seattle in 2016 and 2017, received an honorary mention in the 2016 International Songwriting Competition, a Canadian Best Out of Province nomination at the 13th Annual Toronto Independent Music Awards and a Lyrics Finalist slot in the 2017 USA Songwriting Competition, Pinwheel Valley holds firm in belief.
In 2020, Pinwheel Valley joined the London Indie sync licensing roster, North Note, and were invited to a prestigious show by BBC Radio London host Robert Elms for their seminal 2018 single, Take Me Home.
More recent notable achievements include Best Music Video wins for 'Abduction' and 'Willow' at the 2023 New York Movie Awards, Vegas Movie Awards, Swedish International Film Awards, and Russia's HALO International Film Festival.
Currently, the group has been signed for distribution to the London / LA based record label Levantine Music, as they continue to work on their profoundly explorative music out of their home base island in the Mediterranean. A place truly encircled by sea on all sides, their only wait out proves to be none other than a steady rise up.
“In a time when it is impossible to hear anything but aggravated polarised opinions, Pinwheel Valley's intellectually humanistic approach to music is the breath of fresh air that our souls are crying out for.”
