ABOUT KYLE

Kyle (full name Kyle Harvey) was born in Reseda, Los Angeles, and grew up in Ventura, California. Though he was a shy child, due to a speech impediment, he began singing at the age of six and by the time he reached elementary school, he was also writing and performing. Drama lessons gave him improved confidence and by age 13, he had begun rapping. He was inspired to begin recording upon hearing Kid Cudi’s debut album Man on the Moon: End of Day.
