Raised in Silver Spring, Maryland, just outside of D.C., Gray Kid started to get serious about music after receiving a beat machine from his parents for high school graduation. “We used to rap in high school at lunch…but I wrote my first EP while a freshman in college.”
After returning home from college he joined a group, eventually opening up for Black Eyed Peas and Wyclef Jean. However, he soon realized he wanted to be a solo artist and left in 2004 for New York.
Never one to be pigeonholed, Gray Kid’s extensive repertoire spans a wide spectrum. “I’m just trying to have a good time,” he proclaims. “I want to make party records – heavy beats, very dancey. I try to mix the things that are easy to hear and present them in new ways without bastardizing them or making them uninteresting to people who like hearing things a certain way. I’m trying to recombine all that stuff we grew up on with that not giving a F*** attitude that is hip-hop.”
