Orchy breaking out of the cage

Orchy breaking out!!!

The Origin

From Cage-A now comes KAGE and Orchy, the caged bird, has come along too. This is a solo project by Karl Benwell who is now building a new batch of self-written, performed, and produced songs. These are a mix of various genres.

The Sound

Spanning rock, funk, country, acoustic, and orchestration, KAGE defies easy categorisation. Each track draws from a different well — gritty electric riffs one moment, stripped-back fingerpicking the next. The debut single Made In Kings Heath is a love letter to the Birmingham neighbourhood that shaped the sound.

The Studio

Self-Written, Performed, and Produced

Karl writes, performs, and produces all of his own material. Beyond his own releases, he also collaborates with other artists and bands — whether it is refining a melody, building out an arrangement, or co-writing from scratch, KAGE brings a genre-fluid perspective that can elevate any project.
