Rap charts, Smyle got a huge boost with Chance the Rapper’s feature on the song, “Remember Me?” As KYLE’s first project to crack the top 10 of the U.S. Under Indie-Pop he released two commercial mixtapes, 2013’s Beautiful Loser, and 2015’s pivotal Smyle. After releasing five mixtapes in just under two years, he signed to his first label, Indie-Pop. In 2009, a fifteen-year-old KYLE (known at the time as K.i.D.) began developing a series of mixtapes critical to his eventual breakthrough. From there, working toward a music career became an inevitable path. His father was so pleased with their shared interest, that he took his then-eleven-year-old son to wade through clouds of marijuana smoke and sit behind the boards at a professional music studio. A chance introduction to hip-hop via his father playing Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s “Got Your Money” put KYLE over the edge and revolutionized his view of musical expression.

However, when he started developing a substantive relationship with his father at the age of ten, his enthusiasm for music was radically enhanced. Nirvana, Incubus, and Sublime were among his main influences growing up. He was raised mainly by his mother, who listened to 90’s rock, not rap.

Before the irresistible pop melodies and smirk-worthy wordplay, KYLE was just Kyle Harvey from Ventura.
