Bent was originally born in Jamaica, where he resided until the age of two before his parents decided to relocate. After being introduced to freestyling and songwriting by his close friend Sean Fontes in the third grade, Kyle worked to hone this newly discovered skill that would eventually mold his entire life. Inspired by the idea of bringing people closer together through music, Kyle decided his goal would be to transcend all boundaries and stigmas surrounding rap music. His main concern would not be whether his music classified as hip-hop, electronic, soul, or any other genre, but only that the lyrics impacted the listener as deeply as possible.
