After finishing school and going on to study business and marketing at college and then university, his love and hunger for music urged him to start producing instrumental beats at the age of 17 and quickly turned to him writing his own songs and raps. Beginning as just a fun hobby with his friends and playing around with bars and beats in their university dorms, Kay joined forces with his close friend “Astro” and duo soon created a unique sound together which encompasses the diverse music genres in which they have been influenced by from being raised in a multicultural city like London. This new sound aims to bring a refreshing experience to the global music scene and brings listeners into the creative minds of Kay and Astro.
