Kolby Kennedy, better known as YTK (b. 2000), is a rapper, producer, music engineer, art designer and video producer hailing from East Baltimore, Maryland.

Born a natural creator, he started rapping at the age of 9, then started producing in the 9th grade of school. He first came to prominence in 2017, with the release of his debut single “Bodiless”. Throughout the years, he kept on honing his artistic skills, managing the most part of the creative and promotional operations by himself, and released several different projects: REDACTED and Berea in 2019, and From Grace, for Grace in 2020.

In 2021, he gained wider attention on a national scale thanks to the viral potential his single “Let It Off” revealed to have, as the song hilariously revisited Mariah Carey’s 2005 hit single, “Shake It Off”.
