Kaytranada

Kaytranada, the Montreal-raised producer, arrived during the early 2010s with ear-perking remixes and an array of sounds that veered from J Dilla-inspired hip-hop beats to distinctly woozy house grooves. Numerous commissioned works and short-form solo releases led to his debut album 99.9% – which went on to win the 2016 Polaris Music Prize and the 2017 Juno Award for Electronic Album of the Year.

After the success of his debut album, the Haitian-Canadian star signed a major label deal with RCA. Kaytranada’s sophomore album Bubba featured Pharrell, Kali Uchis, and Masego among the contributors. The album was even better received than the debut and was awarded with two Grammys at the 2021 Grammy Awards.

Kaytranada has worked with a wide array of artists including Anderson .Paak, Kendrick Lamar, Chance the Rapper, Robert Glasper, Lauren Faith, Mick Jenkins, GoldLink, Snoop Dogg, Freddie Gibbs and Alicia Keys.

Rapper Aminé joined Kaytranada during the producer’s set at the 2023 Coachella. Kaytranada and Animé performed the hit “4eva”, the first single from their collaborative project Kaytraminé. Kaytranimé’s debut album was released in May and featured Pharrell, Snoop Dogg, Freddie Gibbs and Big Sean as guests. Kaytranada is one of the most sought-after producers of the moment, who inspires many with his artistic career that breaks genre boundaries.
