Popular gamer and budding rap star KRYPTO9095 (or Krypto) could never have imagined that the ending of his successful athletic career would be the beginning of his rise to fame. • Before the music, Krypto was a promising track-and field athlete who attended the AAU Junior Olympics and earned a scholarship to run in college. When his racing days were over, he redirected his competitive energy to gaming via Xbox Live. • He later created a YouTube account to upload his video game highlight reels and parody songs, but his exponentially growing fanbase encouraged him to start making original music. • He adopted his gamer tag KRYPTO9095 as his rap moniker. The tag itself was an ode to his early days as a competitive dancer—he described himself as the other dancers’ kryptonite. • The 2019 single “Woah”, featuring D3Mstreet, was his first major rap milestone. Known for its viral “Woah” dance, the song soundtracked more than 10 million TikTok videos.
