Growing up just outside London in Hertfordshire, Kris began writing when he was just 10 years old, immersing himself in song writing and poetry. He used the space afforded by his distance from London and upbringing as an only-child to truly immerse himself in his writing. These formative years were spent honing and refining his craft, creating his own sound with a unique combination of rapping and singing. Kris' single-minded vision was to establish himself as a unique artist with longevity. After being kicked out of three different schools, Kris enrolled himself on a college course where he learned to produce his own beats, highlighting his enterprising spirit and further strengthening his ability to work as a solo artist with complete creative control over his output.
