KILLGRADY

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Growing up, I was raised by my older siblings. Whatever they played — hip-hop, R&B, soul, experimental — stuck with me. I didn’t know it then, but those sounds shaped my ear and laid the foundation for the music I make today. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? My best memory so far is performing for the first time in NYC. The energy was unreal — people already knew who I was and were rapping my lyrics back to me. That moment made everything feel real. I knew I was doing something that mattered.
