The name Ky-Enie (pronounced Ki-eeny) was given to him by a Rasta man who saw the spirit of a warrior in him, and he proves that old man right at every turn. A true expression of Reggaes versatility, his live performances take you on a journey that is rooted in Reggae but makes stopovers in Dancehall, Rock, Acoustic Soul, and sometimes even a little Hip Hop. His blend of spiritual vibes and hardcore truths shows his listener the depth of his understanding. His songs both fast and slow hold a consciousness beyond his years. When asked about his lyrical strength Ky-Enie replies, My inspiration comes from everyday life and mostly from the Most High, He's the one who penned all the work.

Born in St. Anns parish of Jamaica, W.I., Ky-Enie decided as a teenager that he would pursue his passion for music. He stepped out on faith and began entering competitions and talent showcases. I guess I've always loved to perform, whether it was singing or dancing, I was always on stage. The energy from the audience just hypes me up. He used his early days time to hone his skills and cultivate his own voice. Soon he found himself moving in a different direction from the many performers who simply followed the popular trends. Ky-Enie has always remained true to his talent and stayed the course.

Over the years Ky-Enie has been turning out audiences from Jamaica to Canada to the USA. With his hard-edged vocal style, lyrical versatility, and explosive stage presence, he always leaves the crowd wanting more. I deliver, whether its one person in the audience or a million. That's what I do, I deliver. I never fall short on a performance. He counts among his inspirations the late Bob Marley, Buju Banton, and Tracy Chapman. When he is performing on stage, he wants his audience to, feel the positive side of the music and where I am coming from. Id like them to feel the spiritual side of it as well as the party vibe.

Throughout his years in the industry this artist has been favored to work with producers such as Ed Robinson, Robert Livingston, Christopher Birch, Shane Brown and Goldenchyl to name a few. He credits them all with helping him bring out different sides of his musical gifts.
