ABOUT KAYCYY
KayCyy has perfected the art of ambiance. Since his standout appearance on Ye’s Donda
album, the 25-year-old has blended lithe, emotive vocals with sleekly immersive soundscapes.
With flexible musicality and an aesthete’s sense of atmosphere, he can oscillate between
dystopian trap and emotional R&B, a range that’s granted him millions of fans and a reputation
as one of the most inventive new voices in rap. The BuVision/Columbia Records artist continues
his journey with “My Jeans,” a dreamy love song swimming in nostalgia, as well as the aptly
titled new project Never Been So Sure, which reflects the outcome of intense soul searching.
KayCyy was born Mark Mbogo in Kenya, where he lived for nine years before he and his family
moved to Minnesota. Growing up around St. Paul, he remembers playing soccer, singing in
church, and eventually jumping into the sounds of artists like Michael Jackson, Drake, and
James Blake. Eventually, KayCyy started making music with a momentum of its own, eventually
earning collaborations with rap luminaries like Maino, Casanova, and Lil Wayne. Since then,
KayCyy has continued his level up. In 2022, he was named an XXL Freshman and unleashed
the mixtape Get Used to It, a sonic adventure that reaffirmed his penchant for experimentation.
For Never Been So Sure, he continues his evolution, teaming with fellow boundary-pushing
artists and icons like Buju Banton, Lucky Daye, and Kaytranada, a choice that put him on a path
to even more exploration.
