KY IS A SINGER/SONGWRITER/RAPPER FROM CHATTANOOGA, TN. HE MIXES ELEMENTS OF HIP HOP, COUNTRY, AND ALTERNATIVE ROCK TO CREATE HIS OWN SOUND. THE MOST IMPORTANT ELEMENT TO THE MUSIC IS KY’S RAW, HONEST LYRICS, HIS SMOOTH, AND HIS CATCHY DELIVERY. COMING FROM A WIDE MUSICAL BACKGROUND ALLOWED HIM TO APPRECIATE ALL GENRES. HIS DEBUT EP, FROM MY MIND, WAS PRODUCED AND RECORDED BY KY HIMSELF, AT HIS HOME STUDIO AND MASTERED BY PRODUCER NICK INGRAM.

KY SIGNED WITH INVOGUE RECORDS IN NOVEMBER OF 2017, AND HIS DEBUT EP HIT ALL DIGITAL OUTLETS MARCH 2018, FEATURING A BRAND NEW TRACK “YOU GIVE ME LIFE” ALONGSIDE THE ORIGINAL COLLECTION OF 5 SONGS.

EARLY IN KY’S MUSIC CAREER, HE SUFFERED A NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE DURING AN ACCIDENT, WHILE ON TOUR. THE ACCIDENT WAS A SETBACK, LEAVING HIM UNABLE TO WALK AND PERFORM FOR MONTHS. KY HAD THIS TO SAY ABOUT THE OUTCOME OF THE ACCIDENT:

“GOD HAD TO CLIP MY WINGS TO MAKE ME REALIZE I NEEDED HIM. I LOST EVERYTHING – MY CAREER, MY SOURCE OF INCOME, MY ABILITY TO WALK, THE GIRL I LOVE, AND EVEN MY DAUGHTER, ALL IN A MATTER OF WEEKS. EVERYTHING BEFORE WAS PERFECT. I BECAME ARROGANT, I BECAME SELFISH. I LOST MYSELF. I’M THANKFUL GOD DISCIPLINED ME AND MADE ME START OVER AGAIN. BECAUSE I FOUND MY ROOTS, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, I FOUND MY FAITH AGAIN.”

Since signing with InVogue, Ky has released a full-length album and has been touring the country – including Van’s Warped Tour in 2018. As of 2020, Rodgers decided to take the independent route. This is his first release as an independent artist.
