Fat Possum Records is a label that was established in 1991 with the sole purpose of recording R.L. Burnside. Over time, it evolved into a mission to discover and record the last remaining original bluesmen before they passed away. Despite facing various challenges such as difficult personalities, limited songs, and a raw sound that didn't fit the mainstream blues market, these artists possessed immense talent and truly lived the blues.

In recent years, Fat Possum has expanded its catalog to include newer indie blues rock bands alongside their traditional offerings.

Kadhja Bonet is a multi-talented artist based in Los Angeles. With her impressive skills as a singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, she has captivated audiences with her unique blend of soul, R&B, and folk music.
Her music has drawn comparisons to other talented artists such as Sudan Archives, Charlotte Dos Santos, and Moses Sumney. Kadhja's mesmerizing vocals and intricate compositions have earned her a dedicated following in the music industry.
With influences ranging from jazz to classical music, Kadhja Bonet creates a sound that is truly her own. Her songs are filled with lush harmonies and poetic lyrics that showcase her immense talent as both a vocalist and songwriter. Whether performing live or recording in the studio, Kadhja's passion for music shines through in every note she sings.

Kadhja Bonet’s second album, Childqueen - released via Fat Possum— is something of a Hero’s Quest. In the opening Procession, above a muted drummer’s march, an unseen oracle announces to you, the listener: “every morning is a chance to renew, a chance to renew.” This is your first clue, setting you upon a path not to treasure, nor a grail, nor even a long lost love, but highest of all, what Kadhja has christened the “childqueen,” that innermost self that you were truthfully and instinctively before the press of the world came crushing in. As with her 2016 debut The Visitor, the songs on Childqueen are never casual, never ditties. Instead they invite us into a world not wholly our own, a half-mythical atmosphere where past and future meet in a parallel, yet faraway, present. The lyrics and melodic lines nudge us along a path of self-discovery— or act as breadcrumbs along her own path. Everything that you hear on Childqueen was written, played, produced, and even mixed by Kadhja, who has always produced all her own music, insisting on a total vision that is nearly as difficult to co-create as a dream. The result is a soundscape the listener sinks into, a sound that combines softer enchantments with an ever-listenable experimentalism, unplaceable in genre and decade from beginning to end.
