Bio
Young Kaii
Born October 8, 1987 Young Kaii, formerly known as K Star, is a talented female rapper who fell in love with hip hop at a very young age. Writing her first verse at fourteen, Kaii discovered rapping and writing as a way for her to release the stress of a not-so-perfect home environment.
Using her life experiences as a driving force, she began to turn the negativity of having hustling brothers and poverty stricken parents into lyrical masterpieces. Soon after, Young Kaii released a series of mixtapes including The Gossip Volume 1, which has created a huge buzz not only in her hometown of Providence, Rhode Island but also in New York, Miami as well as her parents home of the Dominican Republic.
Kaii is an individual focused on embracing who she is without placing restrictions on her music. Creating lyrical masterpieces with such passion and dedication it serves as fuel and the driving force behind her movement. She pushes through the obstacles shattering the glass ceiling others often allow to keep them down. Young Kaii strives to be different yet creative which flows through the lyrics she writes. Diversity is what she aims for with her style of music, growth is what she wants to have as an artist and unity is her desire for all.
Shes built a platform in which fans and supporters alike can see the originality, passion and drive of an artist who is driven by something much deeper than fame. Her versatility stems not only with her ability to produce punch line after punch line, but also from her hunger for success, and willingness to push the envelope. She has achieved greater notoriety in her ability to reinvent herself. Self-proclaiming herself as the new LGBTQ artist of the year Kaiis success has resulted from mass support outside and inside the LGBTQ community.
Supporting, encouraging and influencing others through her music are Young Kaiis goals.
For Young Kaii, there are no limits!
