K.I.D. PRO

Born in Cali, Colombia, and living in Northern NJ since the age of 1, K.I.D. PRO, 28, has applied this philosophy into not only his music, but to all aspects of his life. His introduction to Hip-Hop was "Midnight Marauders" by A Tribe Called Quest, and since that first listen, he was hooked to the art form. Drawing inspiration from Hip-Hop, Jazz, and Rock, Pro has been able to craft a flow that represents his own individual style, and not follow the constant changing trends in today's rap scene. Being true to who he is and what he knows, Pro's fresh perspective on everything from life and death, happiness and depression, and childhood to fatherhood, is showcased on every song.

Growing up, Pro started making music with other local acts and released various mixtapes with different groups. He was always one to look out for his team, but ran into a few setbacks along the way. Broken promises, failed partnerships, and untrustworthy individuals may have slowed him down for a bit, but he never let it stop him from chasing his dream. It wasn't always easy, and dealing with other artists who didn't share his hunger and drive made him realize that becoming a solo artist would work out best for him.

When listening to K.I.D. PRO's music or watching him live, it's easy to tell that he has something to prove. His energy and showmanship is always a highlight of any event he performs at, and he exudes the confidence of a true professional with every stage he touches. Since deciding to become a solo artist, Pro has gotten the opportunity to rock the stage with such acts as Heltah Skeltah, Pharoahe Monch, Smif-N-Wessun, CyHi The Prynce, DAS-EFX, and Rakim. The sky's the limit for K.I.D. PRO, and from the work he's already delivered, fans find themselves talking about more than just the featured acts they came to see.

Alongside Producer/Engineer, Nemes1s, Pro is finishing the recording for his newest mixtape, "The K.I.D. Network", released in January 2015. The connection between these two creative minds on tracks like "The Mean Streak", and "Under The Influence" is set to have Pro's name on everyone's radar and launch "The K.I.D. Network" to success.
