With such a strong start, Kayoh will continue to be one to watch over the years as his style expands and develops. Since then, he’s been in the studio every day. Having already learned to play guitar and piano, he picked up production with ease, which later provided a type of catharsis he had to experience. As his love for music grew into a need to create and perform his art, he did like any high school student would and convinced his parents to get him a copy of Fruity Loops. Baltimore’s brutal winters and blazing summers didn’t stop him from hitting the skatepark often and soaking up the world of hip-hop. Much like his music, Kayoh hails from a city of extremes. Drawing from a love of classic hip-hop-he lists J Dilla and Pete Rock among his strongest influences-his style is raw and upfront, like his work on his original tune “Killa Bees.” But he also has an emotional side that comes out in his synth-heavy future bass tunes, like his remix of Above & Beyond’s “ Counting Down the Days.” He’s received widespread press and has garnered support from Morgan Page, Lil John, Grandtheft and Dyro, to name a few. Discovery Project graduate Kayoh had already built a following of dedicated fans and producers well before he hit the Infinity Stage at Countdown 2015 just under a month ago.
