ABOUT
“A local MC and artist who deserves to be topping rather than opening the day, Kay Greyson was on blazing form with her De La Soul style of laid-back, intelligent, rhythms.” - NARC Magazine
“Over the two years RIDE Music has been active, Kay has been one of our most featured artists; in part down to her incredible work ethic when it comes to performing live – if we had the stats, I’m sure she’d place highly in a ‘Most Performances 2018’ rap league table.”
- RIDE Music
“Kay Greyson is a rapper from Tyneside who now inspires the next generation.”
- BBC News
Rapping and performing since she was a teenager, 22 year-old Kay Greyson has gained a reputation in Newcastle as the hardest working artist there is.
Period.
Her sound fuses the flair and style of modern hip-hop with
the skill and sensibilities of the golden era, hitting with the
vibe ofLil Uzi Vertand the substance of Mos Def.
Having already supported hip-hop legends likeThe
Game, KRS One, DJ Yella and Akala, to name but a
few, Kay continues to create her own legend.
In 2019 the Bajan-Geordie raised the bar once again, performing at the Newcastle Eagle’s half-time show to open their new stadium, as well as Team GB’s half-time show during a FIBA tournament. Kay’s exuberant live performances, including one at The Royal Albert Hall for the MYF Youth Proms, another at BBC Introducing Live in London, a packed out performance at Hit The North music festival and a string of top-drawer singles earned her the award of Newcomer of the Year at the 2019 Journal Culture Awards.
Kay has kept the forward momentum rolling into 2020, selling out her first headline show at Bobiks, Newcastle. The rapper is in studio mode right now, working on a brand new EP to be released in July. 2020 is set to be Kay’s best year yet; her ambition, drive and natural
skill won’t allow anything less, despite the pandemic!
