Artist/Musician Bio

Kevin Anglade (K.A.) in addition to being a rapper, is a singer, songwriter, and producer from Queens, New York. Kevin started rapping at the age of 11 when he would freestyle alongside of/battle rap his peers in middle school cafeteria cyphers. Following this, he honed his pen game over the years and complimented it with his tenor register to become a Hip-Hop/R&B hybrid. Now a producer, Kevin writes his own music and produces for both himself and various acts. His sophomore album (self-produced) life or luck: live from philly is available now via FCS Recordings.
