The Kidd

The Kidd was born in Athens in 1979. At the age of 5 his family moved to New York andever since he has lived back and forth between Athens, New York and Los Angeles. He started his affair with music at 11 when he started playing the drums. He spent most of his adolescence playing in bands ranging from punk to funk and most things in between. His transgression to rhyming as a way of exploring rhythm was only natural.

He hosted an internet radio show with his close friend WhoAmI on interfaceradio.com and a prime time saturday night slot on Athens Radio DeeJay 95.2 for Smoothplayaz.
In 2009 he met Blend, who was preparing the “Sudden Death” album, and ended up with two solo tracks “My Thing” and “Funk Fanatic” and on “All Up In SSSS” with BnC.
