About K-Tone: from Brooklyn Streets to Miami Heat
K-tone was born in the Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn in NYC. Growing up, young Kellon spent most of his time in various recording studios with his father, who was also a songwriter. He was constantly around musicians, producers, and engineers, and developed his passion for music at an early age.
He attended the now-defunct Canarsie High School and during his early education his family impressed upon him the need to reach for a better life. As immigrants from Grenada raising a large family (K-tone has 3 brothers and 4 sisters), his parents’ greatest desire was to keep their children out of trouble and out of the streets. Music was a way for them to help their family achieve their dreams.
In the summer of 2018, K-tone booked a trip to Miami. Once he hit the Magic City, he found his peace, and never went back to the airport to return to New York. He fell in love with the perfect weather and the hot nightlife and knew he’d found his place.
Setting the Industry on Fire
As an artist, K-tone has become known for his ability to cunningly deliver narratives within his music, rich with insight from his personal experiences and diversified with a rich and varied vocabulary. He is respected as a trendsetter among his peers, and has a talent for utilizing his influences but always applying his own unique sound to his tracks.
With his deep understanding of the industry and passion for music, K-tone is equipped with the necessary drive to reach superstardom. He has been featured in showcases locally and nationally and has committed himself to perpetuating a change in today’s youth culture. “I want to open their eyes,” he says of young people. “I deliver a positive message so they don’t end up going down the wrong path.”
K-tone is truly a force to be reckoned with and the industry will feel the echo of his footsteps.
