While performing in choirs she started writing poetry, scribbling her thoughts away. It wasn’t until she found her older brothers worn notebook full of raps and rhymes, he’d written that she began to turn her own poetry to rap. Drawing her inspiration from artist such as Lauryn Hill, Missy Elliot Aaliyah and Ludacris. With her growing and obvious talent, Kray.Cee’s parents signed her up for an all-girls group: “Yada Yada Girls”, at the age of only 13!
