Cakes da Killa is a polymath, businessman, trailblazer, innovator. He’s New Jersey-born, but he’s reigned in New York through a decade-plus independent career tearing up stages and dancefloors worldwide with a blend of rap, house, jazz, dance, and anything that piques his interest. He’s persevered through blogs, SoundCloud, a global pandemic, and an ever-shifting music landscape prioritizing everything but talent and taste. He’s played Glastonbury, Governors Ball, Sonar, and Whole Festival. He’s worked with everyone from Honey Dijon to Injury Reserve to Rye Rye. Upon asking, Cakes declines to submit to convention via self-definition; he knows himself, and the rest truly lies in the eyes of the beholder.
