On this episode of Two Beers With The Band, I sat down with KoldKay, a talented rapper and singer-songwriter whose style is heavily influenced by the visionary work of Tyler, The Creator and Kanye West. KoldKay shares the raw, honest story of his artistic evolution, which began when he was just 10 years old trying to imitate rappers he saw in the studio and recording his first tracks on BandLab.

This conversation is a deep dive into the mindset of a young artist finding his voice. KoldKay opens up about growing up feeling compelled to "please" others and how music became the one creative outlet where he could be completely authentic. We explore his unusual sources of inspiration, from family stories to old-school fantasy Marvel movies , and how his new perspective—gained from joining the Venue Collective—shifted his focus from wanting to be "rich and famous" to simply having fun. This interview is a powerful lesson in staying confident in your art despite critics and focusing on the genuine joy of creation
