Artist Profile

K. P. is age 18 and grew up in Miami, Florida in the U.S. He took an interest in R&B/hip-hop music at the age of 11 and began singing/rapping from this age. R&B/hip-hop music became K. P.'s passion because of how lyrical he could be and the relaxed vibes he felt. Also, unlike most singers/rappers, he writes songs based on things which have actually happened in his life so he's very true to his fans. 

After gaining many YouTube hits, K. P. started to perform at various nightclubs and was eventually noticed whilst performing at Mynt Lounge at Miami Beach by his favourite artist who he was also inspired by, P. Diddy, and is currently mentored by him and signed to his record label, Bad Boy Records. K. P. takes inspiration from Usher, Mario Winans, Twista, and Ja Rule as well. He decided to drop out of Miami Senior High School later on to go on and succeed in his music career. 


K. P. has released his debut album 'Ecstasy' and is currently on his album tour in USA. His album has reached Platinum in music record sales and he has won two Grammy Awards for 'Best New Artist' and 'Record of the Year', for his song "On A High", and an Urban Music Award for 'Songwriter of the Year'. 

K.P. likes to play FIFA on the PlayStation 3 and is a huge supporter of the English football club Manchester United. He enjoys going to parties too - especially if it's one that he has to host. In addition, he regularly smokes shisha whilst on and off tour. His favourite flavours are double apple and O.M.G (orange, mint, and grape). When K. P. isn't in the studio producing records or performing at concerts, he likes to spend his free time relaxing on holiday with family and friends. However, he does love spending most of his time in the studio and attending concerts - he's very dedicated. But one thing he dislikes about his career is getting less sleep!
