Kyle AleXander (@iamkylealexander) is one of those rare rap artists with a compelling story to tell. He is all about sharing his own experiences and truly connecting with his listeners with a sharp, witty and outstanding lyrical flow. Kyle's life hasn't always been easy. In fact, he had to endure a lot of pain and hard times. However, he decided no to give up in the face of adversity, and instead, use the hardships as a way to fuel his creative endeavors and truly reach out to other people, helping them as much as he can.

We spoke about his artistic beginnings, what continues to drive him creatively, being a creative in 2020, as well as some advice for new artists just dipping their toes in the music industry. 

Kyle was also the winner of the contest I held on my Instagram in November so keep your eyes peeled for new music from Kyle AleXander in the near future!
