Kxvi

KXVI is a Denver-based music producer and artist from Colorado who's been killing it since he was just a teen. Starting at 14 with a YouTube tutorial on making beats for XXXTentacion, he ditched high school hockey and straight-A classes to go all-in on music by 15, building his hustle through relentless daily emails—like sending loops to TM88 for a full year until landing his breakout placement on DJ Khaled's "BEAUTIFUL" with Future and SZA. That led to two Grammy nods for Khaled's "God Did" album (Best Rap Album and Best Melodic Rap Performance), plus collabs with heavyweights like 21 Savage, and massive streams on YouTube type beats that pros snapped up.

Now in his early 20s, KXVI's expanded into his own empire with SoniX (launched 2021), selling fire sound kits, loops, and courses like Vintage Mastery, while running SoniX Academy to mentor up-and-coming producers on placements and branding. He's dropping tracks like "Day Ones," "All I Wanna Be" with Nef The Pharaoh, and "Lord I Need You," blending his production chops with artist vibes for that chill, soulful trap sound. Dude's proof that consistency and BeatStars grind can take you from loops to Grammy lights.
