Mitchell Kazuma of Japanese-American mixed-culture boyband INTERSECTION has released a
new single as a solo artist, performing under the name Kaz. The single ‘White Stallion’ was
released on June 21.
Kazuma recently appeared on ‘CHUANG2021’, the hugely popular Chinese version of hit music
audition show ‘PRODUCE 101’, which has been broadcast throughout Asia since February this
year and exceeded 5 billion total views. His amazing singing voice and smoldering good looks
instantly captured the hearts of fans in China and across Asia, and Kazuma soon gained more
than 1.85 million followers on Chinese social media platform Weibo.
Kazuma has released music as Kaz before, but ‘White Stallion’ is his first solo release since his
‘CHUANG2021’ success. As an active songwriter with roots in jazz music, Kazuma has now
expanded his horizons as a solo artist with ‘White Stallion’ – to the obvious delight of his
audience. On the first day of release alone, the single has tallied 200,000 downloads in China,
ranking at No.1 on the daily charts.
This self-produced song offers an artistic Generation Z perspective on modern love in the age
of digital society and the real world. It’s a sideways step from the music of INTERSECTION,
expressing Kazuma’s deepest feelings as he approaches adulthood.
On June 16, Kazuma held an livestream on Weibo lasting roughly one hour, where he chatted
casually and openly with fans about the latest updates in his life. During the broadcast, Kazuma
surprised his audience by calling his fellow INTERSECTION member Caelan Moriarty for a voice
chat. A record 11 million viewers tuned in over the course of the hourlong livestream, making
it a hot topic in China, where the phrase “Kazuma livestream” became the No.1 trending term
on Weibo.
