Born Louis Kevin Celestin on August 25, 1992, KAYTRANADA, sometimes stylized as KAYTRANADA, is a Haitian-Canadian DJ and record producer based in Montreal, Quebec. He rose to prominence through a series of soundcloud tracks and remixes, quickly carving out a niche for himself with his distinctive blend of dance music, hip-hop, and funk that defies traditional genre boundaries. His crafty production work, characterized by smooth beats and rhythmic basslines, has garnered him a strong international following.

KAYTRANADA's career took a significant leap forward with the release of his critical and commercial success, "99.9%", in 2016, which led him to win the 2016 Polaris Music Prize, and two Juno Awards for Electronic Album of the Year and Breakthrough Artist of the Year in 2017. His follow-up album, "BUBBA," released in 2019, continued to solidify his reputation and won him a Grammy for Best Dance/Electronic Album. His recent releases show no signs of slowing down, delivering a mix of vibrant instrumentals, such as "KAYTRAMINÉ (Instrumentals)," and collaborations with high-profile artists like Pharrell Williams on "4EVA." With an ever-evolving sound that extends to remixes like "All Along (Kaytranada Remix)" and original tracks like "Twin Flame," KAYTRANADA remains at the forefront of contemporary electronic music, blending influences and pushing the boundaries of the genre.
