Kenyan music producer, and Kanye West's protege 'KayCyy Pluto' shines at the Grammys

On Sunday, he was honored by The Recording Academy, Grammys, for being a part of the production that saw Kanye West, Ye, win Best melodic rap performance with the song "Hurricane," which featured The Weeknd and Lil Baby.

KayCyy Pluto is clearly 'hanging out with the big boys' of the entertainment industry.

Now that he is Ye's mentee, he has been steadily ascending to the pinnacle of his musical career. KayCyy's transformation isn't magical; he's been working on his craft since he was 14, and it's finally paid off.

KayCyy, whose real name is Mark Mbogo, was born in Kenya and lived there until he was nine years old. He then relocated to Minesotta, where his musical spheres expanded, allowing him to develop a deeper understanding of his craft.

Kaycy told BillBoard News in a previous interview that he began studying The Jacksons: An American Dream series, which is about one of America's most influential musical families, which includes the legendary Michael Jackson. It was the first time he had heard a new type of soul music.

After graduating from high school in 2016, he moved to New York for three, maybe four years, honing his skills while writing typical auto tuned melodies in a basement, where his name KayCyy was born, an elision from "King Confidence."

He then released a song, which was immediately recognized by one of the Los Angeles-based producers. This elevated KayCyy to a position where he was able to record with A-list artists.

Among them are Lil Wayne, Justin Bieber, Kanye West, The Weeknd, Lil Baby, and Kehlani, among many others.

KayCyy's fingerprints are all over Ye's most recent Grammy-nominated album Donda.

He has writing credits on the album, including the chilling ballad "24" and the breakout hit "Hurricane," and his voice can be heard on "Keep My Spirit Alive Pt. 2" (previously its first part).

He has also recently hinted on his social media platforms that he will be releasing some singles that he describes as "a lot of healing."

He refers to it as "next level" or "2030," and it comes after a year of listeners wondering who he is.

“I’m not going to stop, and everybody around me is not going to stop. I want everybody to have that mentality,” he said.
