Born and raised in the East Midlands city of Derby, K1 has already made quite the impression on the music industry. Journeying back to his viral hit ‘Broken Hearted Crook’ back in October of 2021, which has since gained over 8 million streams and views combined. The UK rap riser has gained a growing following on both TikTok (35k+) and Instagram (29k+) not to mention his 900,000+ monthly listeners on Spotify, that are eager to hear what’s next from the artist. Standing as one of the many up-and-coming artists that are holding it down for the UK’s regional talent outside of the capital, K1 grew up in a small city named Derby nestled in the East Midlands. “Growing up in Derby was alright. The area I grew up in was in between the rough area and the nice area. I used to play a lot of football and sing a lot – I’ve been quite musical from day one”, K1 explained, “The only problem with Derby when I was growing up was not everyone was on the same length with music in comparison to somewhere like London. Derby was a bit shy of that!”. In between playing football with his friends and competing in the school talent shows as a singer, K1 grew up on an assortment of genres, “I listened to a lot of Eminem and N Dubz growing up! *laughs* I listen to quite a lot of genres; Lo-Fi, Rap, Alternative, and Indie music, it’s never been just one sound” he said.
