Meet KIDNAP, the 19 year old recording artist from Mandeville, LA just outside of New Orleans. Often entrusted with DJ duties for sporting events, parties, and other school activities while in high school, KIDNAP began taking his creation of music seriously around one year ago. While enrolled at LSU in Baton Rouge for his freshman year of college, he has been recording music at Roadkill Studios in Covington, LA and working with studio engineer, Sam Bachrach, to create a distinct sound for himself.
Following the success of his J Cole 'Immortal' remix, Lucky Talez, KIDNAP has worked to blend his storytelling talents with his Drake-like ear for melodies to provide catchy tracks of all different sounds to his fans. These different sounds were put together on a short project titled Ambidextrous, the name symbolizing his wide-ranging talent. His ability to make his voice apart of any beat is a tribute to two of his most influential inspirations, Travis Scott and Kid Cudi, and his mastering of this ability leaves him with an abundance of room for growth.
Check out his most successful track, Lucky Talez:
