One of the UK’s most influential multi-hyphenates, KSI’s career spans boxing, music, television and digital media.
As a musician, KSI has delivered multiple UK chart-topping albums and singles and performed on global stages. He is also a founding member of the Sidemen, creator collective. This trip is rooted in cultural exchange, with a focus on understanding how Indian audiences consume content, engage with sport, music and creators, and build fandoms. KSI will be spending time on the ground meeting fans, creators and athletes, participating in real-world, high-energy interactions.
In his statement to the press, KSI shared, "2026 is going to be a big year for me. I’m working on new music, some huge YouTube videos, and a few big charity matches, plus a secret project I’m really excited about. Right now though, India is a massive focus for me. India isn’t just an audience, it’s shaping global culture. I’m here to learn, connect, and create with people I respect. I’m collaborating with some incredible creators and talents like Samay Raina, Tanmay Bhat, CarryMinati, Abhishek Fukra and more, and we’re doing a huge fan meet-up in Delhi as well. My brother is here with me too. It’s his first time in India, so it means a lot for both of us. Hopefully we can build something long-term with India, not just for content but for culture too.”
