Imanu

After being exposed to trance and progressive house by a friend at the age of 10, Kievit started producing house at the age of 14.^[1][2] A few years later he discovered the music by Dutch trio Noisia and subsequently started producing drum and bass. Eventually, Dutch drum and bass artist Fre4knc also sent a song by Kievit to Noisia, who then signed him under the alias Signal to their label Invisible Recordings when Kievit was only 16 years old.^[3] In 2018 Kievit co-founded the record label Dividid (stylized as DIVIDID) with Mark McCann, known as Abis and Rotterdam-based promoter Lars Dingeman.^[4]

In 2019 Kievit started a new project under the alias "Imanu", which has since been active. As Imanu he pushed the boundaries of drum and bass as a genre and explored other genres, such as house, techno and footwork.^[2] He described his style of music as "future breaks" and cited Flume as his primary influence besides Sophie, Cashmere Cat and Arca.^[5]

Since starting with Imanu, Kievit has released music on significant electronic music labels such as Zeds Dead's Deadbeats,^[6] Vision Recordings,^[7] and UKF Music and has collaborated with Noisia, What So Not,^[8] Kuc̆ka, Josh Pan and Pham.

In 2021, Beatport named Kievit as one of six Beatport NEXT artists, supporting him for a full year by offering store featurings, playisting, editorial features, live-streams and social media support.^[9] In the same year, Kievit performed a 1-hour mix with UKF on BBC Radio 1.^[10]

In June 2022, Kievit announced his debut album Unfold, which was released on September 16, 2022, through Deadbeats.^[11][12] In April 2023, a remix compilation album titled Unfold Remixes was released, featuring remixes from artists such as Zeds Dead, Machinedrum, What So Not and others.^[13][14]
