The Dorchester artist is making a name for herself with her unique aggressive sound, pushing against expectations. 'As a young Black woman, there's this stigma behind what a woman in general in music should sound like or do.'
, she was pretty nervous. She'd never performed in front of a crowd before and her debut project,"baby steps," was still new at the time."There was a lot going on. I'm usually very timid," she said, laughing."There were changes in when I was supposed to go on and how the set was supposed to run."
kei didn't grow up in a religious household and her family didn't go to church often. She started her journey connecting with her faith right before she started making"baby steps.""I went to church and I started going continuously," she explained."So, in that moment, I don't know what it was but I just knew there was something special...

While still very bass and drum-driven, all three tracks sample sonic elements that sound like they're plucked out of a video game, providing an interesting contrast to the grit of the electric guitar on"made me" and the grainy vocal distortion on"s.t.o.o.p.e.d" and"wake up.

My dad had to sacrifice ... his passion to make sure that me and the rest of my family was taken care of." As kei got older, she remembers her father making music less and less. It's part of why she's so relentless and steadfast in her own pursuit.
