Kyle Bent was born in Jamaica but raised in Randolph, Massachusetts, right outside Boston. The 20 year old rapper has been honing his songwriting skills since elementary school. At the age of 12 he was introduced to his former music engineer, Tarik McFarland, who saw Kyle’s potential and took him under his wing. It was 2014’s highly acclaimed music video, “Mind Control” that put Bent on the map. Hip Hop DX noted, “…the burgeoning wordsmith proves he’s a little ahead of his peers with insightful lyrics and hard-hitting messages revolving around perseverance.” Following the release of the acclaimed track “Higher Power,” Kyle signed with Made in the Shade Records. Since then, Kyle Bent has released numerous tracks and mixtapes and headlined at countless venues and music festivals. Ultimately, as an artist, Kyle Bent wants to transcend all boundaries and stigmas that surround rap music. His focus is to pen lyrics that impact the listener.
Kyle Bent has performed in Sofar Worcester MA and Sofar NYC.
